Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

This volume discusses sexual abuse of male children, the issues surrounding it and approaches to counselling survivors of childhood sexual abuse. It presents recent research findings from in-depth interviews with adult men who were abused in childhood, and describes how males respond to their abusive experiences in ways that are rarely understood. It discusses therapeutic issues for working with and providing care and help for male survivors, as well as presenting their powerful, painful and moving stories.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 323-331).
