"Highly recommended as an authoritative text on incest and its treatment" and "essential reading for all therapists," Healing the Incest Wound was a groundbreaking book that put incest studies and treatment on the map.

Drawing on cutting-edge research on incest and other forms of child abuse, it includes attention to their neurological, attachment, affective, and dissociative sequelae.
