In fact, the most common feeling reported is not fear but confusion . Clancy calls for an honest look at sexual abuse and its aftermath, and argues that the reactions of society and the healing professions- however well meaning- actually shackle the victims of abuse in chains of guilt, secrecy, and shame. Pathbreaking and controversial, The Trauma Myth radically reshapes our understanding of sexual abuse and its consequences.
