What motivates sexual abusers? Why are so few caught? Drawing on
the stories of abusers, Anna C. Salter shows that sexual predators
use sophisticated deception techniques and rely on misconceptions
surrounding them to evade discovery. Arguing that even the most
knowledgeable among us can be fooled, Salter dispels the myths
about sexual predators and gives us the tools to protect our
families and ourselves.
Real Rape, Real Pain is a book may make you feel uncomfortable, in
that it tackles the violence and unpleasantness of rape within
marriage; it forces us to confront the hidden violence in our
society. It challenges the silence and secrecy about marital rape.
As the authors say, "Violence is about using power and control, not
about being out of control. There is no excuse for marital violence
ever." The aims of the book are changing the rape culture and
helping survivors. Chapters cover identifying rape in marriage,
women at risk, staying with a partner who has raped you, sexuality
after partner rape, a safety plan, and numerous other issues
related to partner rape. As American author Monika Ostroff says,
"Real Rape, Real Pain is the compassionate, loving friend that
reaches into the darkness to the sufferer of partner rape, offering
hope and help for a healthy life, free from violence. A wise
teacher, this book will inform everyone from professionals working
in the field to family members of women being victimized to
politicians who are empowered to make the necessary changes to
ensure safety on all our behalves. This book is a beacon of light
that illuminates a dark, misunderstood yet incredibly common
phenomenon of violence. It is a must-read for every survivor,
family member, clinician, and politician "
