Book Review - Betrayed as Boys: Psychodynamic Treatment of Sexually Abused Men by Richard B Gartner - Guilford Press, New York, NY, 1999. Reviewed by Eric Medcalf, BA (Hons); Cert.Appl.Soc.Stud. (Aberdeen); C.Q.S.W.; Dip. Psychother. (Sheffield); MNZAC. Psychotherapist and Supervisor in Private Practice, Wellington, New Zealand. When a boy is sexually abused he suffers an assault on his body, his developing personality and on his manhood. Our socialisation tells us that men are not supposed to be victims. We are meant to be in control of our environment. To be abused sexually by an adult man, or a woman is a challenge to the way we see ourselves and a betrayal of the trust that is necessary for healthy development. The consequences are distortions of inter- and intra-personal functioning, dissociative patterns, misplaced aggression and, often, repeated failure to engage in satisfying relationships with others." http://human-nature.com/nibbs/03/gartner.html
