About this title

From the Author

Why I wrote this book......
When I wrote my first book, Learning to Live Without Violence: A Handbook for Men, almost twenty years ago, the issue of domestic violence was in it's infancy stages. Advocates were interested in educating the public about this serious social problem. Mental health professionals were focused on developing effective interventions in stoping violence. As I treated many men and women for their violence I came to realized that an important part of the violence recovery process was addressing the effects of childhood abuse.

I initially started writing this book for the man who was struggling to control his violence and who was also needing to heal from his childhood abuse. However, as I spoke to colleagues about my ideas, I discovered that there were many more men who didn't have problems with violence, but nevertheless were silently suffering from the effects of childhood abuse.

Wounnded Boys/Heroic Men is for all men who were abused as children, whether they are recovering from violence, substance abuse, or who simply are not feeling satified with their lives and wanting to overcome whatever lingering effects they are experiencing as a result of the abuse.

I hope you learn as much from reading this book, as I did from writing it.
