Presenting the first real investigation of what male sexual assault survivors themselves identity as most important during various stages of recovery, Leaping upon the Mountains contains powerfully moving contributions from hundreds of men of all ages and backgrounds throughout the United States and 45 other countries. It is not a work of fiction, but a compilation of many truths, many realities -- a quilt pieced together from men's experiences -- forming an impressively triumphant pattern. Taken together, they state, lucidly and forcefully, that recovery work produces changes that are real, important, and permanent. Leaping upon the Mountains is a celebration of successful recovery, which offers hope and encouragement to all male survivors of sexual child abuse.
Readers will discover: • Encouraging and inspiring messages from other male survivors • A large resource section providing concrete help to survivors and professionals • Ways of reconnecting with their own strength and creativity
This book is about successes. Its contributors speak eloquently and persuasively of the reality of recovery.
