Author: Richard B. Gartner
File Type: pdf
Healing Sexually Betrayed Men and Boys Treatment for Sexual Abuse, Assault, and Traumais the new authoritative source for treatment of sexually victimizedmen and boys. Male victims and survivors of sexual trauma lived in shadow until the turn of the 21st century, when scandal after scandal about the sexual abuse of boys and men shed light on their suffering. These men and boys require different treatment roadmaps than their female counterparts. Yet there is little in the professional literature to help a clinician work with sexually traumatized boys and men. Richard B. Gartner is a seasoned psychologistpsychoanalyst who has worked therapeutically with sexually abused men for over three decades. He is a clinician, advocate, teacher, lecturer, and nationally and internationally recognized expert on the subject. Dr. Gartners classic book, Betrayed as Boys Psychodynamic Treatment of Sexually Abused Men, is one of the few written to guide clinicians.Now, nearly two decades after writing that groundbreaking volume, he follows up on his earlier work. Healing Sexually Abused Men and Boys, together with its companion volume, Understanding the Sexual Betrayal of Boys and Men, is a thorough, comprehensive guide to learning about and healing male victims and survivors. Dr. Gartner has invited a group of experts to write about specific problems faced by these boys and men. Specialists from the psychoanalytic, psychodynamic, trauma, and legal worlds fill in the details about a wide range of interconnected subjects related to the complex reverberations of male sexual trauma. Healing Sexually Betrayed Men and Boys covers such diverse topics as ul l therapy with young sexually traumatized boys l l the aftermath for men who were raped as adults l l covert seduction of boys and its aftereffects l l treatment for substance addictions and sexual compulsions l l couples work with male survivors and their partners or spouses l l bodywork with male survivors l l treatment for male veterans who suffered sexual trauma in the military l l profiling sexual predators and working with survivors who have also been sexual predators. l ul This book is a valuable resource for clinicians at every level of training. With strategies for how survivors can build support networks and descriptions of clinical, familial, and community-based treatments, Healing Sexually Betrayed Men and Boys is essential reading for clinicians of all theoretical persuasions who work with male sexual abuse survivors. Filling in gaps in the relatively scant literature on the subject, it will also help sexually abused or assaulted men themselves understand what is available to them. **Review A nationally recognized expert on childhood sexual abuse with particular expertise in the treatment of men who were abused as boys, Richard Gartner graces us with his fifth book on this worldwide epidemic. Gartner, a clear and thoughtful writer, has been published widely in psychoanalytic journals, national newspapers, magazines, and has testified at the Markey hearing, where he made a reasoned and impassioned plea for changes in the New York State statute of limitations for reporting childhood sexual abuse. In Healing Sexually Betrayed Men and Boys Treatment for Sexual Abuse, Assault, and Trauma Gartner brings together experts in the field to address a variety of crucial issues such as Can sexually abused men find compassion and understanding for the shame and anger they live with? What are the long-term, potentially dire consequences for sexually abused boys as they move through adolescence into manhood? How do therapists and society cope with the male sexual perpetrator whose violence has its roots in unprocessed, dissociated sexual trauma? This volume is a must read for anyone who works in the field of trauma!-Sheldon Itzkowitz, Ph.D., ABPP, co-editor, The Dissociative Mind in Psychoanalysis Understanding and Working with Trauma Healing Sexually Betrayed Men and Boys Treatment for Sexual Abuse, Assault, and Trauma is a welcome addition to the literature on the victimization of males because the scope of the book is wide and the chapters have depth. The contributors are knowledgeable and well-respected practitioners who see first hand the damage caused by sexual abuse, but also know that healing is possible. It ought to be a part of every training programs library.-Mic Hunter, Psy.D., author, Abused Boys The Neglected Victims of Sexual Abuse and Honor Betrayed Sexual Abuse In Americas Military * * For too long, boys and men who have been sexual abused or assaulted have been overlooked, neglected or minimized by society and the health care community. This extremely powerful book is a must read for all mental health professionals who want to right that wrong and deliver trauma-respectful and empowering care to their male patients. In this volume, recognized experts intersperse descriptions of various treatment approaches with clinical cases sharing inspiring stories of healing from the complicated aftermath of sexual betrayal and violation of trust. These males strengths, courage to confront fears, and reclaim of lost experiences are unforgettably illustrated.-Joan Cook, Ph.D., Yale School of Medicine 2016 President, Division of Trauma Psychology (Division 56), American Psychological Association A comprehensive, exhaustive and invaluable resource for understanding the suffering of victimized boys and men enthusiastically recommended.-Gary Brooks, Ph.D., Co-Founder, APA Division of Men & Masculinity author,*Beyond the Crisis of Masculinity * Richard Gartner is a pioneer in studying the impact of trauma, especially sexual trauma, on men. His first book, Betrayed as Boys, broke new ground twenty years ago. Now, with the release of two new volumes he has broadened the field by including the work of other clinicians struggling with the same challenges, dilemmas, and achievements in working with male survivors of sexual abuse. Grappling with issues of violence and the damage done to boys and men (as well as to girls and women) and the world we live in takes courage and fortitude, but understanding and altering post-traumatic pathways in male development is critical to our shared future.-Sandra L. Bloom, M.D., author, Creating Sanctuary Toward the Evolution of Sane Societies co-author, Restoring Sanctuary A New Operating System for Trauma-Informed Systems of Care About the Author Richard B.

Fiery the angels fell slow thunder rolled around their shores, burning with the fires of Orc. Whether in recent popular culture, or back across countless centuries, angels have perpetually enthralled, mystified and even terrified us. Every single angel is terrible, wrote the German Romantic poet Rilke and so I hold myself back from the dark bird-cry of my anguished sobbing. For some in the sceptical, post-Enlightenment West, angels may be no more than metaphors poetic devices to convey, at least for those with a religious sensibility, an active divine interest in creation. But for others, angels are absolutely real beings manifestations of cosmic power and energy with the capacity either to enlighten or annihilate those whose awestruck paths they cross. Valery Rees here offers the first comprehensive history of these beautiful, enigmatic and sometimes dangerous beings, whose existence and actions have been charted across the eons of time and civilizations. From the ancient Sumerian and Akkadian winged figures, to Egyptian representations of Maat, Persian genii, Arab djinn, biblical cherubim, daemons of Hermes Trismegistus and Miltons defiant fallen angels, From Gabriel to Lucifer reveals a mesmerising trajectory of angelic belief. Whether exploring the feverish visions of Ezekiel and biblical cherubim the Islamic archangels Jibrail, Azrail, Mikail and Israfil the austere and haunting icons of Andrei Rublev or Wim Wenders Wings of Desire, and the more benign idea of the ever-watchful guardian angel, the author shows that the very ubiquity of these implacable celestial messengers reveal something fundamental, if not about God and the devil, then about ourselves our perennial preoccupation withhow to depict the transcendent. **Review Whether as mediators between the divine and human, or involved in the complex intertwining of good and evil, angels form a central part of human culture. In her fascinating book, From Gabriel to Lucifer, Valery Rees offers her readers a tantalising glimpse of the multi-faceted role angels have played in religion and history. She thereby helps restore to a more prominent position this much-neglected feature of human experience. a Christopher Rowland, Dean Irelands Professor of the Exegesis of Holy Scripture, University of Oxford, UK and author of Blake and the Bible Our fascination with angels and the angelic seems to go from strength to strength, and in her readable new book Valery Rees provides a lively and engaging account of why that is. Thoughtful and intelligent throughout, From Gabriel to Lucifer is a thorough and thought-provoking guide to the role of angels in many of the worlds religions and cultures. a Oliver Leaman, Professor of Philosophy and Zantker Professor of Judaic Studies, University of Kentucky, USA This work of deep learning traces the idea of angelic beings through the history of the religions of the Book, and the cultures from which they emerged. Speculations so widespread and of such duration and elaboration plainly represent some general need or intuition the book is an angel in itself, bringing us a message about human attempts to imagine and comprehend the mysterious universe we live in. a Jill Paton Walsh, CBE, author of Knowledge of Angels (shortlisted for the Booker Prize, 1994) I very much enjoyed Valery Rees From Gabriel to Lucifer. It is a terrific read an absorbing account of angels across world history, ancient and modern. The author manages to find comparisons and connections in civilisations which appear to be quite different, and presents what could seem as merely antique speculations in a fresh and most thoughtful way. She gives us visions of worlds in which angels played their part as much as we now reckon that particles do today. She brings to life an aspect of our past often forgotten or dismissed but compellingly relevant to the worldview of those who lived only a few centuries ago. a Melvyn Bragg Review Whether as mediators between the divine and human, or involved in the complex intertwining of good and evil, angels form a central part of human culture.

King John has long been dubbed one of the vilest of English kings. He was brutish, untrustworthy, and ruled as a virtual tyrantand yet his reign changed the course of English history. As renowned medieval historian Stephen Church argues, Johns importance has for too long been overshadowed by more heroic family members like Richard the Lionhearted and Eleanor of Aquitaine. John was a skilled political manipulator, but his traditional belief in the unchecked power of the sovereign became increasingly unpopular during his reign, leading to frequent confrontations between the king and his barons. In 1215, a group of barons rebelled in response to Johns repressive fiscal policies. The peace treaty that resulted was the Magna Carta, which enshrined the kings obligation to rule within the framework of the law. King John offers an authoritative portrait of King John and the moment that signaled the end of the age of absolute monarchy and the dawn of constitutional law.**ReviewTelegraph (UK) Church is a scholarly and readable authority who has devoted his career to King Johns reign. He picks his way through the intrigues at court, clarifying waters muddied by patchy, often contradictory sources, and acts as an important corrective to the views of unconvincing chroniclers, such as Roger of Wendover. Financial Times Magna Carta, the foundation stone of constitutional government in the English-speaking world, passed its 800th anniversary this year. Church explains with exemplary clarity how the charter emerged from the turmoil of King Johns reign. Weekly Standard A thoughtful and suggestive book, instructive for anyone interested in comparative government and essential for students of early medieval England and France. Spectator (UK) A fair and rounded picture of the king and his reign. Roanoke Times Church presents an analysis of a king besieged by traditions, his French neighbors, and his own family. We learn to appreciate the circumstances that caused him to act as he did, but we also come to appreciate that this kings actions set the stage for American constitutional government.Manuel Rojas Gabriel, Professor of Medieval History, University of Extremadura, Spain Very well written, with a clear and precise style. This is a notable work of research. King John will change many of our traditional negative views concerning one of the more underestimated kings of English History. Stephen Church has taken a great step forward in giving us a more balanced understanding of John, his personality and reign, and also of the Angevin dynasty. Jay Rubenstein, Professor of Medieval History at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville One of the most enigmatic figures in English history and legend, King John has found in Stephen Church a biographer able to present a richly textured portrait of both his character and his world. Johns was a reign of immense conquest. From his failed conquest of Ireland, to his loss of the French lands that he had inherited from his equally ruthless but far more capable father, to his long political and spiritual war against the Pope, and finally, to the rebellion of his subjects that led to the writing of the Magna Carta this is a great story that Church tells with real skill and dynamism. Open Letters Monthly [Church] sets himself a methodology all historians should employ, but one thats particularly hard to use when it comes to John Church intends to tell the kings story as though we didnt all already know how it turns out. Working from the primary sources of Johns life and times, Church approaches each major event in the reign from the even-keel perspective of the moment those events were happening, to the extent that such moments can be known it works surprisingly well. McClatchy Church plumbs historical documents, such letters and treaties to recreate the up-and-down life of John. Luckily, like all rulers, Johns reign had a bureaucracy, and bureaucracies run on paper. The portrait of the king is richer for the minutiae Church has mined from archives. Publishers Weekly Church dramatically relates the tragic twists of the kings fall in this story of power gone awry, with echoes that resonate in the present. Library Journal Highly recommended for anyone interested in medieval history or history in general. Kirkus Scholarly but readable an insightful, likely definitive, biography. Robert Lacey, co-author of *The Year 1000 What Life Was Like at the Turn of the First Millennium, An Englishmans World* In a biography that ties together the year 1215, Magna Carta, and wicked King John, Stephen Church vividly explains the dawn of democracy. Terry Jones, director of Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Monty Pythons Life of Brian, and Monty Pythons The Meaning of Life, and author of Terry Jones Medieval Lives and *Who Murdered Chaucer A Medieval History* Stephen Church has written a romp through King Johns life, full of surprising and intriguing detailseven though John ends up as a catastrophic failure. Sarah Gristwood, author of *Blood Sisters The Women Behind the Wars of the Roses* Riveting. A refreshingly multi-faceted look at the man who, inadvertently, gave us the Magna Carta, still a cornerstone of our democracy. Stephen Churchs achievement is to look behind the baddie of many a Robin Hood story and find a ruler who didnt know hed go down as the worst monarch in British history. About the Author Stephen Church is a professor of medieval history at the University of East Anglia and the author of The Household Knights of King John. He lives in Norwich, England.
