"If they ask you about us, don't tell them anything " Thus begins
the unraveling of a ten year-long story of sexual exploitation,
infatuation, and cover up. The author describes a life long
struggle with secrets of his childhood at the hands of the pastor
of his family's Episcopal Church. A teddy bear helps on the
tortuous path toward a late life decision to sue his 95 year old
abuser. This true story is a study in the complicity of family
systems, the institutional church, the law, and the dangers of
un-examined trust. It is the story of my life of carrying the
secrets of sexual exploitation by my family's Episcopal Priest. I
write about my own life as an Episcopal priest and also of effects
of my secret on my wife and children. I describe "places" which
were part of the secret and the effects of the tangling of
spiritual moments with sexual moments and the impact of that on
faith formation.

A practical book for both those who work with abusive men and those who work with battered women, Confronting Abusive Beliefs presents a unique model for exploring and changing attitudes that influence abusiveness. Use this proactive program to encourage men to challenge and alter entrenched beliefs about the roles of men and women in male-female relationships. Through interactional sessions, this book cultivates an awareness that helps men change abusive behaviors and attitudes. Accessible session-by-session outlines and handouts bolstered by a sound theoretical basis create a comprehensive package for group leaders, new and established practitioners, and advanced students. Sessions address issues such as expressed emotions, recurring thoughts, communication patterns, and conflict resolution and the belief systems that sustain them. An important contribution to the literature on abuse intervention and prevention, Confronting Abusive Beliefs provides a model for developing respectful relationships that plays an integral role in the therapeutic processes of abusive men. "Mary Nomme Russell presents a solid framework for looking at batterers' treatment with a conceptually sound and interesting premise." --Alyce D. LaViolette, Alternatives Counseling Associates, Long Beach, California "What with the courts requiring treatment as a condition of parole for abusive men this becomes an important text." --Ron MacIssac, review in What's Happening?, Victoria, B.C.
