  • Helping Victims of Sexual Abuse : A Sensitive, Biblical Guide for Counselors, Victims and Families by Lynn Heitritter, Jeanette Fought, and Jeanette Vought
    This book outlines a support group type of program as well as providing information for family members and friends of abuse survivors. The meathods of healing are kept biblical.
    Bethany House; ISBN: 0871239302
  • The Courage to Heal : A Guide for Women Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse by Ellen Bass and Laura Davis
    Probably the most well known books for childhood sexual abuse survivors. Pretty much a standard issue kind of book. It is REALLY big, but it is packed with information. This series of books don't rely on the Bible at all, and are friendly to homosexuals.
    Harperperennial Library; ISBN: 0060950668
  • The Courage to Heal Workbook : For Women and Men Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse by Laura Davis
    A workbook that is similar to the origional book (above). Contains mostly writing excercises and projects.
    HarperCollins (paper); ISBN: 0060964375
  • Allies in Healing : When the Person You Love Was Sexually Abused As a Child, a Support Book by Laura Davis
    A book for the friends, families, and spouses of survivors. A great book to help a non-survivor understand their survivor loved-ones.
    Harperperennial Library; ISBN: 0060968834


The Amazon links are so that you can easily purchase the books online. Amazon also has cheaper prices than most bookstores do. If, for some reason, you want to purchase these books, but do not want to use Amazon, then feel free to use the ISBN numbers that I have included to help in obtaining copies of the book. The important part of this page is helping you, not my earning commission on book sales from my page.



Oh, and while you are reading all of this very serious stuff, keep something funny on hand for when it all gets to be too much. It will happen from time to time. I recommend a good clean joke book.
