Reviews
"""Wise words for everyone."" The Globe and Mail ""Michel Dorais sheds light on this troubling subject with the great intelligence and sensitivity for which he is known. An original and valuable work."" Le Devoir ""This is an important book that will be of great benefit to social workers, educators, school counselors, parents, and to child and adolescent victims of sexual abuse who have never reported their abuse and continue to live with its effects. Dorais' discussions of the cases are informative and packed with emotion. Teachers should include this work as a must-read for any course that touches on sexual abuse in any way whatsoever and all professionals being trained to work with victims should also have to read this book."" William Prendergast, author of The Sexual Abuse of Children & Adolescents: A Preventive Guide for Parents, Teachers & Counselors"
