Abused - A Guide to Recovery for Adult Survivors of Emotional/Physical Child Abuse

Abused is a new and expanded edition of a sensitively written, entry-level book covering child abuse in all its forms: physical violence, neglect, deprivation, ridicule, and inappropriate sexual advances. Abused includes first-person accounts, a detailed program for recovery, an updated resource directory, and a self-test to determine if one was once abused. The expanded edition provides a new chapter on how the fact of being a child-abuse victim affects one's adult partners and provides testimonials from readers of the first edition.
