Acclaimed psychotherapist Steven Levenkron's Stolen
Tomorrows is a breakthrough book that will encourage the
30 percent of women who have been abused to think about,
talk about, and seek help for what has been their secret
shame. It illustrates the emotional and psychological
devastation inflicted on young girls when they
experience childhood sexual abuse, exploring varied
situations and settings in which this abuse takes place,
focusing on the child's experiences at the time of the
assault, as well as the emotional, behavioral, and
psychological problems that emerge in adolescence and
adulthood. A common theme emerges in therapy sessions:
self-hatred, low self-esteem, fearfulness, and an
abiding sense of personal debasement. But this book
offers an uplifting message. In addition to giving
therapists and other helpers an empathic insight, Stolen
Tomorrows will enable the survivor to recognize herself
in both her personal history and her current struggle to
overcome the legacy of abuse.
