Customer Reviews

The MarketPlace at Amazon.com exceeded my expectations.

I recommend this book for beginning students in counseling, psychology, social work, and teaching to understand the psychological developmental effects that progresses through an individual's life after sexual abuse has taken place, especially if the child was very young at the time of the occurrence. It explained a lot of questions that I had and answered even more.
