Betrayed as Boys
Psychodynamic Treatment of Sexually Abused Men
Dr. Richard B. Gartner
More than one in six boys in the United States is sexually victimized by the age of 16.
Yet in the growing professional literature on child sexual abuse, few books focus
specifically on the experience of victimized boys and men. This much-needed volume
examines how sexual betrayal affects boys and the ways they carry this hurt into
adulthood. Blending psychoanalytic understanding with insights from trauma-oriented theory
and practice, Richard B. Gartner presents effective strategies for meeting the unique
therapeutic needs of men with sexual abuse histories. Filled with evocative clinical
material, the book draws readers into the direct experience of these clients, the
therapists who work with them, and the constantly shifting relational world they inhabit.
