Summary:	This is a fully revised and updated edition of a book first published in 1994. It is essential reading for any survivor of child sexual abuse, female or male. Many survivors of sexual abuse have not always been believed or supported through their developmental years. They have had to cope on their own, dealing with the aftermath of the abuse in whatever ways they could. This book offers ideas and techniques for understanding and healing which adult survivors in particular may find useful. Many survivors want those around them to understand what they've survived and its effects on their life. This book will also be useful for the partners, families and friends giving support and encouragement to survivors who are healing themselves from the effects of abuse. Part 1 provides information about child sexual abuse - what it is, why children remain silent about it, some of the effects abuse can have on a survivor's life and how these can be minimised, and who the offenders are. Part 2 is for survivors, helping them to understand and to cope with their unique experience of child sexual abuse. Part 3 is specifically for supporters and caregivers of survivors. Dr Kim McGregor has worked as a therapist for over 20 years. She is the Director of Rape Prevention Education New Zealand, a founding and steering group member of Te Ohaakii a Hine-National Network Ending Sexual Violence Together, and a member of the Task Force for Action on Sexual Violence.
