Overview

Robert Blackburn Knight had everything a man could want: intelligence, physical strength, financial security, close friends, a loving girlfriend, and a beautiful home. But he also had mysterious physical pains, a bisexual father who had been beaten to death in an unsolved murder, a forever ailing mother, a brother who had been killed in a car accident on the way to his eighteenth birthday party, and a sense that all these facts were somehow connected...He also had the Insiders. These sub-personalities knew the story; they kept the secrets and held back the pain. But as he went through therapy, they emerged, told their stories, and helped him face the brutal, ongoing sexual abuse by his parents that made his childhood a nightmare of terror, shame and pain. Few male survivors of sexual abuse have spoken out to tell their stories, but now A MAN'S RECOVERY FROM TRAUMATIC CHILDHOOD ABUSE breaks the silence. Because the author is a trained therapist as well as a survivor, he weaves psychological theory into his personal story. This unique dual view allows the emotional and intellectual comprehension to develop in parallel, and will make for a passionately honest and completely unique resource for therapists, abuse survivors and the people who love them.
