The Courage to Heal: A Guide for Women Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse
Ellen Bass and Laura Davis
This book has also been called The Sexual Abuse Survivor's Bible--at least for women--but heck, I think men survivors could(do?) get TONS out of this book, too, so hey. It's a huge thing--probly 5 inches by eight inches (sorry--don't know the metric sytem!) and has 600 pages of great stuff--compassionate encouragement, info about inner children, how to pick a therapist, how to confront familiy, what to do if you're suicidal, why we forget, the stories of other survivors, poetry, lists of what to do when....it's got it all. If you could only buy one book about sexual abuse (particularly if you're female), I suggest this one. Comprensive and smart, especially when you're new to the healing process.
