Reviews

“This book is an invaluable contribution to the field of sexual abuse prevention. This book compiles insights from numerous experts who have dedicated their careers to addressing and preventing sexual abuse. It stands as an essential resource for professionals working in this challenging area of therapy, making it a highly recommended addition to their’s, or anyone interested in this area, bookshelves.” Anthony Beech, Professor (Emeritus)in Criminological Psychology. “I am proud to be a Patron of StopSo, and equally proud of the work our therapists do to tackle the threat of child sexual abuse. The latest assessment of the number of children affected by online sexual abuse and exploitation is staggering, we are facing a global pandemic and a public health crisis. If we are to stand any hope of combatting the threat, it is going to require a whole system response. Whilst a victim focus is imperative, and one that should never be forgotten, one element of the response has to focus on working with offenders. This book provides an invaluable insight into the complexity of the work and the challenges therapists face dealing with offenders seeking help and the impact it has on their lives and those of their families.” Simon Bailey CBE, QPM, DL, MSt (Cantab) Chair of the International Policing and Public Protection Research Institute (IPPPRI)
