I think this book should be put in Psychology and Mind body and spirit because it covers both areas.

I have read many books that have been written on this subject and work on a helpline. I often tell callers that if they are looking for one book to read if you have been abused yourself or know or work with survivors then this is the one i'd recommend.It was written by 2 psychologists Carolyn Ainscough & Kay Toon who set up groups in the Warrington area and this book is based ontheir experiences.

It is a type of workbook which looks at how SA changes lives, Guilt feelings, Tackling problems, feelings towards others and in the end Breaking Free.has some lists of Events,signs, symtoms ,thoughts ,feelings that can makesurvivors realise they are not alone in what they are going through.

It is available in some libraries.

The first statement from a survivor says it all
'Now I feel more powerful. I'm going to take care of this powerand i'm going to take charge of my life. I'm going to get out of this mess. I can see a better future. I can see a different life. I can smell abetter future. I'm not frightened anymore. I'm breaking free'
