Placing the experiences of men at the heart of this book, Sarah Van Gogh outlines an integrative approach to effective therapeutic treatment of men who have experienced sexual violation in childhood.
 
In a culture where to be male is often to be expected to embody strength, power and being in control, male victims of sexual abuse can be particularly challenging to help. This book outlines seven composite detailed case studies representing men from a wide range of backgrounds and demographics. It lays out how the author's pioneering model of an integrative approach which includes psychodynamic, humanistic and relational, cognitive/behavioural, body-based and arts-based approaches can offer an effective model for working with this client group.
 
This key text will prove a valuable resource for all those working with male survivors of sexual abuse.
 
Market: Practising psychotherapists, counsellors and mental health professionals.
1. Introduction. 2. I didn't realise I was a poet. 3. Sharing Two Songs. 4. Chin up. It's not so bad. 5. The power of a teddy bear. 6. But is it abuse if you really loved them? 7. Too much pain 8. Just Ten Sessions.
This book is useful for any counsellor/psychotherapist working with males affected by various forms of sexual abuse and is essential for those whose clients are predominantly boys and men. Practitioners who are not counsellors, but who are working with sexually abused males in another capacity, may also find it useful, as it provides ideas on how to work with men and explore methods that can help them address issues connected to their sexual abuse.
