The courage to heal: A guide for women survivors of child sexual
abuse.
Bass, Ellen; Davis, Laura
New York, NY, US: Perennial Library/Harper & Row Publishers. (1988).
493 pp.
Abstract
"The Courage to Heal" is an inspiring, comprehensive guide that
offers hope and encouragement to every woman who was sexually abused
as a child—and those who care about her. Although the effects of child
sexual abuse are long-term and severe, healing is possible. The authors
—Ellen Bass, a nationally known counselor, and Laura Davis, a survivor
of child sexual abuse—weave personal experience with professional
knowledge to show the reader how she can come to terms with her past
while moving powerfully into the future. The authors provide clear
explanations, practical suggestions, a map of the healing journey, and
many moving first-person examples of the recovery process drawn from
their interviews with hundreds of survivors. (PsycINFO Database Record

Presentation at the Twelfth Annual Ritual Abuse Conference in August
2009 - Neil Brick - Ritual Abuse, the trenches of the stopping child
abuse movement "Ritual abuse crimes are often the most difficult to
believe because of the extreme nature of these crimes. Societies have
a tendency in general to not want to believe that horrible things can
happen right next door or down the street from them. Many of the
atrocities that have happen throughout history have occurred in
populated areas. Yet members of societies have stated after the fact
that they did not know that anything was going on."

Report: Five Children Die Each Day From Abuse or Neglect - Lawmakers
Urge Congress to Increase Spending to Curb Neglect By Mary Bruce Oct.
21, 2009 A new report out today found that on average, five children
died from abuse or neglect every day in the United States between 2001
and 2007. The report by the advocacy group Every Child Matters,
estimated that more than 10,000 children died over the same time
frame. In 2007 alone 1,760 children died, a 35 percent increase over
the death rate in 2001. And, due to poor reporting and record-keeping
in many states, the actual number is estimated to be as much as 50
percent higher. http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/children-die-day-abuse-neglect-us/story?id=88835 |
