"A straightforward and sensible guidebook that answers questions
not only for the survivors of sexual abuse but for anyone closely involved with
the survivor."
—Steven Farmer, author of Adult Children of Abusive Parents
"At last...a book for family members of survivors."
—Patti McDermott, M.F.T., author of Sisters and Brothers
 Few things can mean more to survivors of childhood sexual abuse than the
support of their families, yet few traumas have such potential to rip families
apart. With a compassionate hand, psychotherapist Beverly Engel leads survivors
and their families through the difficult, cathartic process of mutual recovery.
Whether you are:
-
A survivor who is considering telling your family; who has already
disclosed the abuse and was not believed; or who wants to reconcile with
estranged family members; or
-
A family member who wants to know what you can do to help a survivor
of sexual abuse; who is having trouble believing a relative could be an
abuser; or who feels guilty because you didn't take action to stop the abuse;
Families in Recovery offers guidance and encouragement. With new insights on
the healing power of forgiveness, the second edition of this groundbreaking work
is an invaluable tool for families as they work together toward growth and
healing.
