This review is from: Protect Your Child from Sexual Abuse/Incest Perpetrators (Paperback)

Protect Your Child from Sexual Abuse/Incest Perpetrators is an active, practical guide for parents. The strong point of this book lies in the author's ability to relate clinical information and research to readers in a consistently humanistic and compassionate manner. Although this book targets parents, it is important for childcare workers, guardians and all adults. A Licensed Clinical Social Worker, holder of a Clinical Diplomat Certification in Hypnotherapy and a practitioner of psychotherapy specializing in High Trauma Recovery (sexual, physical and verbal abuse) for fifteen years, the clinical and practical experiences and knowledge Ms. Neddermeyer brings to this subject are outstanding. The extensive amount of research is obvious at all stages. Ms. Neddermeyer understands the mind and intent of sexual abuse perpetrators. Without vilifying perpetrators she describes in detail the forethought and afterthoughts they have when committing these crimes. One of the most intriguing and powerful sections of this book, "Afteraffects of Sexual Abuse and Incest." explains the physical, mental, emotional, behavioral, spiritual, sexual and relational affects a victim of sexual abuse or incest often encounters in the aftermath. Ms. Neddermeyer provides the reader with tools and detailed checklists. These include interview questions for hiring child care workers, nine important survival skills to help make one's child independent, eleven steps to take if one's child alludes to or states they were sexually abused and incest prevention checklist, and an extensive resource list to help readers learn more on their own. The following passage exemplifies Ms. Neddermeyer's keen perception of her subject which enables her to speak to her audience clearly and powerfully. "Parents need to empower their children and support them for the ownership of their bodies and their lives. This begins the moment the child is handed to them in the delivery room. Do not mistake this to mean the child is being held responsible for stopping sexual abuse. Your child needs your guidance and support that she or he owns his or her body and that no one is allowed to touch him or her in ways she or he does not like. Your child needs to know you believe him or her and that you will support her in this regard." This book is compassionate, instructive, and highly effective. It is an excellent guidebook on the cruel realitites and subtleties of sexual abuse and incest on children. I highly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally!!! A book that tells the truth about sexual abuse, September 22, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Protect Your Child from Sexual Abuse/Incest Perpetrators (Paperback)

This book tells the real truth about sexual abuse. I am a survivor and I know. The author gives clear, concise instructions on protecting a child from the 'real' sexual abusers--the child's father or other close relative. However, the author does not sensationalize the problem or denegrate men. I highly recommend this book to every parent and anyone who has responsiblity for children.
