Items related to Innocence Destroyed: Study of Child Sexual Abuse
A decade after opening up the subject in "Incest: A Family Pattern", Jean Renvoize's new book on child sexual abuse shows that too many people still believe such abuse is rare, and cannot bring themselves to accept that the suspected numbers of sexually-abused children indicate a problem grossly exceeding anything imagined, even a decade ago. Considerable advances have been made in both understanding the effect on victims and in their treatment, both as children and later as adults still suffering from their childhood abuse. It has been proved that abusive patterns can then run through generations of a family, sometimes beginning when the latest victim is only a few months old. Doctors, psychiatrists and therapists now concentrate on breaking this chain. In "Innocence Destroyed" Jean Renvoize uses real-life interviews to reassess the attitudes to, and treatment of, child sexual abuse and analyzes the new empirical data relating to the subject.
