Reviews
“Incest and Sexuality helps us honor skills we developed to endure abuse so that we can transcend the fear of experiencing our sexual selves. It is gentle in guiding us through the vulnerable terrain of feeling the warmth and intensity of sexual energy, free from abuse. This book validates our experiences, addresses our concerns, and respects our process of recovery. It is a valuable tool which enhances our strengths as we struggle to heal ourselves and improve our relationships.”

VOICES in Action
“This book is a splendid resource for both lay persons and professionals, it provides practical self-help information for adult survivors of child sexual abuse and valuable insights for their clinicians. It is an excellent addition to the sparse literature in this field.”
-Suzanne Sgroi MD
author Vulnerable Populations
“This book provides survivors of child sexual abuse with concrete help regarding their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors about their own sexuality. Survivors are encouraged to view their abuse and their reactions as adaptive, rather than maladaptive.
The book is clear, well-organized, and well-written. It fills the gap for in-depth information about the impact of childhood sexual trauma on the adult survivor’s sexuality. It will serve as a valuable resource to both clinician and survivor.”
