Topical Anthology
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
This book is a comprehensive resource that touches on sexual abuse of all kinds. This anthology covers incest, battered women, rape, child abuse, sexual harassment, abuse of the elderly and clients exploited by counselors. Included are theological perspectives, discussion of confidentiality and mandatory reporting, as well as responses from the church and resources for recovery. While not treating every abuse situation in depth, this book looks like a valuable aid for any church leader or counselor's library. (This review was previously published in "Daughters of Sarah" July/Aug 1987.)
