Understanding the Sexual Betrayal of Boys and Men: The Trauma of
Sexual Abuse is an indispensable go-to book for understanding male
sexual victimization. It has become increasingly clear since the
1980s that men and boys, like women and girls, are sexually abused
and assaulted in alarming numbers. Yet there have been few
resources available to victims, their loved ones, or those trying
to help them. Richard B. Gartner was in the vanguard of clinicians
treating male sexual victimization and has written extensively
about it, initially in professional papers, then in his landmark
1999 book for clinicians Betrayed as Boys: Psychodynamic Treatment
of Sexually Abused Men, continuing with his 2005 work Beyond
Betrayal: Taking Charge of Your Life after Boyhood Sexual Abuse. He
has been a tireless teacher, clinician, and advocate for male
victims of sexual abuse in the classroom, the lecture hall, and of
course the consulting room as well as in newspaper, television,
radio, and online interviews. Dr. Gartner has gathered together
expert colleagues from the trauma, psychoanalytic, medical, and
survivor treatment fields. Together, they have created a
comprehensive guide to what was once thought to be a rarity but now
is clearly an all-too-common occurrence. Understanding the Sexual
Betrayal of Boys and Men looks at the realities of male sexual
victimization, guiding clinicians and lay people alike to
understand the complexities of the devastation it causes in
victimized boys and men. It considers topics as diverse as: sexual
assault in institutions like the military, sports teams, schools,
universities, and religious organizations; sex trafficking of boys
and adolescents; neurobiology and brain chemistry of male survivors
of sexual abuse; gender and sexual dysfunctions and confusions
resulting from sexual exploitation and trauma; physicians'
treatment of sexually abused men's medical problems; socio-cultural
influences on processing and treating men's and boys' sexual
victimization. Understanding the Sexual Betrayal of Boys and Men is
required reading for anyone working with male victims of sexual
abuse and assault at any level - psychotherapists, rape counselors,
attorneys, journalists, guidance counselors, physicians, clergy,
graduate students, and lawmakers - and helpful to lay people
interested in this often-unrecognized problem.
