An essential read. -- Cheryl George, Consultant in Public Health Ms. Daniels admirably disseminates good, hands-on information for professionals of any discipline whose work intersects with male and female survivors of sexual assault. This book is an excellent guide for ensuring the most therapeutic outcomes for survivors, and not doing the further harms that have sometimes been the product of ignorance. -- Louise McOrmond-Plummer, Intimate partner sexual violence author and specialist, Australia I think Sue has done a great service producing this well researched book on such a grim subject.
