Abstract: "The book features extensive narrative, as the life-story approach taken allows the young men to theorise their own experience and to understand how and why child sexual abuse has had a harmful and long-lasting impact on their day-to-day lives." "Alongside the research stories the author presents a theoretical framework for understanding male sexual abuse, as well as a wide range of accessible practice materials. This book will be invaluable to those working with children and young people who are recovering from child sexual abuse."--Jacket.
