| Summary: | "The first book of its kind, Gay Men and Childhood Sexual Trauma: Integrating the Shattered Self addresses the unique emotional and psychological needs of gay male survivors of sexual abuse. All too often, gay men hide their childhood memories of being sexually victimized, because of fear, shame, and the stigma of stereotypes which equate homosexuality with child abuse." "Gay Men and Childhood Sexual Trauma offers new hope by separating the crime of pedophilia from the consensual intimacy of an adult male same-sex relationship. It offers practical treatment suggestions as well as moving insights into the painful conflicts gay men may have accepting their own sexuality and revealing their status as a child survivor of an adult sexual predator. This powerful volume offers sufficient technical detail to be useful for the therapist, yet it is written with enough clarity and compassion to be used as bibliotherapy for men just coming out as gay, as survivor, or as both."--Jacket. |
