More About the Author
Product Description
The first book written specifically for men, Victims No Longer examines the changing cultural attitudes toward male survivors of incest and other sexual trauma. Now, in this Second Edition, this invaluable resource continues to offer compassionate and practical advice, supported by personal anecdotes and statements of male survivors. Victims No Longer helps survivors to:
?Identify and validate their childhood experiences
?Explore strategies of survival and healing
?Work through issues such as trust, intimacy, and sexual confusion
?Establish a support network for continued personal recovery
?Make choices that aren't determined by abuse
Psychotherapist Mike Lew has worked with thousands of men and women in their healing from the effects of childhood sexual abuse, rape, physical violence, emotional abuse, and neglect. The development of strategies for recovery from incest and other abuse, particularly for men, has been a major focus of his work as a counselor and group leader.
Thoroughly updated and revised, and including an expanded Resources section, Victims No Longer educates survivors and professionals about the recovery process -- speaking to the pain, needs, fears, and hopes of the adult male survivor.

Mike Lew has done what can only be described as a work of brilliance! I would more than happily recommend this book to any male survivor of sexual abuse as the 'definitive' guide. Mike Lew has written this book in a sensitive, empowing and easy to read guide for the male survivor. He includes inserts from the pens of other male survivors and guides you through the book with well thought of 'focus' points. Whilst reading this book you will find that the pages, stories from other Survivors and style will leap out and come to life. At last you will know that you are not alone... Although difficult at times, just remember that you are in full control, if you wish to put it down because of pain - then do.
If you are thinking of buying your first book on Sexual Abuse as a Male Survivor or perhaps are thinking of broadening your collection or knowledge of the subject then this, in my personal opinion, is the one to get. May your journey empower and enlighten you - there is light at the end of the darkness...

Mike Lew's book is the definitive book on recovery for males from childhood sexual abuse. When I first bought it, I was not even able to open it to the blurb page without feeling that finally, there was something that I could use to help...finally there was someone who cared. The book is hard to read. Hard, hell, it is, at times, nearly impossible, but it is also hopeful. Mike Lew is sure to include positive messages directed at the survivor, messages of encouragement and hope. I found myself with tears in my eyes as I saw my story and my life on every page, but I now know that I will survive. If you need this book, first get yourself into therapy, then get this book and take all the time you need with it. Don't rush through it.

With the revised and updated edition of Victims No Longer, those men who have yet got the chance to speak out and gain the support they deserve and need, Mike's book shows that they are not alone, and never were.
Mikes insight and shared views, show us that as male survivors, we have unlimited personal resources we sometimes dont see, but we are survivors, not victims!
As Survivors, we share a common theme, and Mike's book shows the courage and strength we all have, even if we dont think we have it.
