“...this is a very important contribution to the neglected area of research on the subject of clergy abuse...”–Heythrop Journal
“The essays, each of which ends in a substantial bibliography, explore what we know, sexuality in the priesthood, confronting sexual abusers, forensic psychological evaluations, neuropsychological findings, psychological treatment, prevention, victim survivors, and the current status and future objectives.”–Theology Digest
“There are some interesting findings in the volume...The authors approach this subject with compassion....a well-written, informative, and compassionate book. It is useful particularly for people who may be asked to forensically assist or treat victims of sexual abuse, as well as a good general introduction to this problem long shrouded in mystery.”–American Journal of Psychotherapy
