Written in a comprehensive and sensible manner, this book offers a new approach to the controversial subject of adults who were abused as children. The traditional approach to childhood abuse was to deny and minimize. The last decade has seen a spate of books that glorify the victim role and encourage people to identify themselves as adult children of alcoholics, incest, violence, or dysfunctional families. Confronting the Victim Role offers information, guidelines, exercises, and case examples to help the adult be a survivor, not a victim.
If you're looking to get out of the victim role or understand someone close to you who's in that role, this book is a great starter. It explains how people get into that role, which, in turn, is a repetitive downward spiral into a bleak existance. A good find.
