From the Author
Self-empowerment develops and grows when we find our voice.
I continue to be honored by men's offering me the gift of sharing parts of their own stories. We are not alone. The abuse was a crime against our innocent bodies and souls. It was NOT our fault. The journeys to disclose, to feel, to deal, and to heal are diverse. There is hope. When I began to believe myself and to forgive myself and to love myself, I was released from the smothering, shaming, painful power and control of the victimizers. In peace and brotherhood, Steve Grubman-Black

A long overdue book by a psychologist who has extensive clinical experience treating male victims of child sexual abuse, it explodes the myth that sexual abuse of male children is rare, or that the consequences are less serious than for girls. Hunter examines the physical and emotional impact of abuse on its victims and the factors affecting recovery. With personal case histories of victims and their families, this is a powerfully written and meticulously researched book that is a landmark in the field of child sexual abuse literature.

Ths groundbreaking book, written by a male survivor, makes explicit the isolation and stigmatization of male survivors and discusses the fear and conflict of disclosure. Men and women survivors share many common concerns such as guilt, isolation, shame and low self-esteem. In addition, the issues unique to male survivors are discussed in a candid and sensitive manner.
