Sexual Abuse of Males - The SAM Model of Theory and Practice (Hardcover)

It is conservatively estimated that one in every seven boys will be sexually abused before the age of eighteen. Since mental health care providers are faced with treating the victims of these statistics, there is a real and continuing need for this book. Also, the number of courses focusing on abuse and violence are rapidly increasing in schools across the country. Sexual Abuse of Males is one of the first books to explore the sexual abuse of boys, in all its complexity, within a psychosocial context of multiple vantage points. It is based on the life histories of hundreds of sexually abused boys and adult men with histories of sexual abuse. It incorporates the perpetrator in order to develop a multi-dimensional understanding of dynamics and effects, the model itself guided and informed by practice and research.
