Victims No Longer

Very comprehensive and helpful for abuse survivors. The author is indeed a leading expert in this field.

The Very Best Book for Male Survivors

In this book, Mike Lew has done for men what Ellen Bass and Laura Davies did for women - treated the enormous horror of sexual abuse with true validation, great compassion and excellent practical help.

This is a very painful read for survivors but a genuine resource towards recovery. Thankfully this groundbreaking, classic book has brought the plight of male survivors into the public sphere and the resources and recommendations are extremely helpful.

As brilliant as the book is, I would urge any survivor to do two things: get good professional therapy or conselling while reading the book and take the book and the treatment very slowly and with great self care.

I would recommend this book very highly indeed not only to male survivors but to those helping them (professionally or personally) regardless of whether the helpees are male or female.

A true classic.

Victims No Longer

Excellent book for men who have experienced sexual abuse and the people who help them. The writer is knowledgeable and offers stories that allow the reader to feel connected to others. I highly recommend this book and feel that women could benefit from reading it as well.

Well Done Practical and Effective

Mike Lew does a great job in clearly describing the effects of sexual abuse among male children. His approach on recovery and treatment is founded in respect and the individual needs of each person. I applaud that he does not lump all victims together and focuses on what the person needs.
Abuse can effect all differently even though there are some commonalites. Clearly the age of the victim, the duration, and relationship to the perpetrator all play a role.

As a victim of abuse I highly advise this book for survivors of sexual abuse.

Recovery does happen!

I was introduced to this book in treatment back in 1991. It led me in the direction to focus on recovery and not the abuse. I now recommend this book to anyone working with male survivors or that is a male survivor of sexual abuse/rape.

For millions of men on the path to recovery, VICTIMS NO LONGER is the next step.

The first book written specifically for men, VICTIMS NO LONGER examines the changing cultural attitudes toward male survivors of incest and other sexual trauma. Now, in this Second Edition, this invaluable resource continues to offer compassionate and practical advice, supported by personal anecdotes and statements of male survivors. VICTIMS NO LONGER helps survivors to:

* Identify and validate their childhood experiences
* Explore strategies of survival and healing
* Work through issues such as trust, intimacy, and sexual confusion
* Establish a support network for continued personal recovery
* Make choices that aren't determined by abuse

Psychotherapist Mike Lew has worked with thousands of men and women in their healing from the effects of childhood sexual abuse, rape, physical violence, emotional abuse, and neglect. The development of strategies for recovery from incest and other abuse, particularly for men, has been a major focus of his work as a counselor and group leader.

Thoroughly updated and revised, and including an expanded Resources section, VICTIMS NO LONGER educates survivors and professionals about the recovery process -- speaking to the pain, needs, fears, and hopes of the adult male survivor.
