Here are a couple of resources from a local therapist (Washington, DC) who has dedicated her career to helping adults sexually abused as children. Her name is Christine Courtois and she is clinical director of a center for treatment of post-traumatic stress disorders resulting from child abuse. She has written several books on the topic: Recollections of Sexual Abuse (1999): addresses the recovered memory controversy http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0393702812/qid=1005313630/sr=1-2/ref=sr _1_10_2/002-2929706-5107203 Healing the Incest Wound (1988) http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0393313565/qid=1005313861/sr=1-1/ref=sr _1_6_1/002-2929706-5107203 It's hard to believe that someone could write compassionately and non-sensationally about incest but she manages it.
