It happens. Male children and adolescents are sexually abused,
sexually misused, and involved with adults, peers, and siblings in
ways that inhibit the development of normal sexuality. In Males at
Risk, the authors examine why sexual abuse occurs, how prevalent
the problem is among male populations, and offer suggestions for
clinicians working with sexually abused children. The authors
examine environmental factors which may contribute to child sexual
abuse, explore the long-term impact on child victims, the
differences between male and female child victims, the role of
perpetrators, and evaluation, assessment, and treatment issues.
Finally, the authors provide step-by-step case guidelines for
clinicians involved in treating abused male children. "Clinicians
will welcome this long overdue resource. . . . Refreshingly,
clinicians are encouraged both to evaluate individual differences
in determining the meaning of the abuse itself and to attend to the
full range of emotional, sexual, and interpersonal spheres of
functioning." --Readings: A Journal of Reviews and Commentary in
Mental Health "This book is filled with useful information on a
subject often left unaddressed. I recommend this book to clinicians
who treat males who have been sexually abused and to anyone else
concerned with this subject." --Family Violence Bulletin "An
excellent sourcebook for those dealing with the rehabilitation of
abused male children and, possibly, male abusers. . . . Males at
Risk is a sensitive but heavy look at sexual abuse of the male
child, following through treatment/therapy to recovery."
--Paediatric Nursing "Males at Risk is a welcome addition to the
relatively small existing literature which addresses the
difficulties faced by abused males. . . . An important early source
for those wishing to develop services for adult males abused as
children, particularly in respect of addressing potential
perpetration dangers." --Community Care "This book is well written
and well documented. . . . A book that all practitioners,
researchers, and instructors in the area of child sexual abuse will
want to have on their shelves. It will prove a valuable addition to
their collections." --Journal of Marriage and the Family "[The
authors] describe the many possible areas in which persons can be
psychologically damaged by abuse, the possible therapeutic
techniques available for treatment, the available tests and
inventories for assessing the victim's functioning, prioritization
of problem areas, and development of a treatment plan...will
certainly be useful for practitioners dealing with sexual abuse
victims of either sex. The book is quite good." --Contemporary
Sociology "An excellent book. It provides a thoughtful discussion
of what is known about sexual abuse of males and gives detailed
information about assessment techniques and treatment strategies. I
recommend it to anyone who works with male incest victims."
--Issues in Child Abuse Accusations "An intelligent and worthwhile
effort on the part of the authors to bring together several scarce
and often conflicting sources of information. It offers a practical
and meaningful source of information for clinicians and researchers
who are seeking a comprehensive perspective on sexual molestation
as it applies to males. It further serves to identify boys and men
as victims in need of special attention in the process of
assessment and intervention. For clinicians who treat sexually
abused boys and/or adult male survivors of childhood sexual abuse,
this book should be an important resource." --Journal of
Interpersonal Violence "In this scholarly but readable text geared
towards the professional, the emphasis is upon the young male at
risk, the manner in which potentially hazardous situations arise,
and what to do about it." --Child and Family Behavior Therapy "An
important addition to the treating therapist's library. . .will
help therapists help violated children heal." --Contemporary
Psychology "I heartily recommend this book, not simply to
therapists who specialize in treating ongoing child abuse
survivors, but to all clinicians who work with males. This book
reminds therapists to stay alert for the signs of abuse, provides a
framework to assess for abuse, and offers a complete model to treat
when abuse is discovered." --Resource Reviews "Thanks to Bolton,
Morris, and MacEacheron for a document that will serve helpers of
every stripe well. More important, it will serve the children."
--The Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Review "Highly recommended."
--Family Violence & Sexual Assault Bulletin Book Club
