For Survivors of Sexual Abuse
Beginning
to Heal; A First Book for Survivors of Child Sexual
Abuse by Ellen Bass, Laura Davis
If you feel you are not ready for the
intensity and scope of other sexual recovery books here, read
this first. It is a basic, easy to read, introduction to the
recovery process
The
Right to Innocence: Healing the Trauma of Childhood Sexual Abuse
by Beverly Engel
A therapist who has worked with sexual abuse and who has suffered
sexual abuse herself presents a well written and practical book
for survivors. There are helpful visualizations and exercises.
I also recommend this books as starting place.

Abused
Boys : The Neglected Victims of Sexual Abuse
by Mic Hunter
A psychologist examines the physical and emotional impact of
abuse on its victims and the factors affecting recovery. This
study explains the ways in which boys are molested and the reasons
why men remain silent about it later in life. A well researched
and well written book.
For Partners of Sexually Abuse Survivors:
I usually recommend one or more of the following books
for the partners of sexually abused suvivors. The books help
understand the psychological and emotional behaviors of a survivor
and answers the questions so often asked by partners. I also
may suggest them for men and women who are themselves victims
of sexual abuse.
