Book Synopsis Silently Seduced by : Kenneth M. Adams
Download or read book Silently Seduced written by Kenneth M. Adams and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2011-09-01 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a parent singles out a child for special privileges and attention, that child is often unaware that the relationship is unhealthy—even incestuous. As adults, these children struggle to feel validated, because while they have not been directly abused, they feel a sense of violation and crossed boundaries—usually done in the name of 'love' and 'caring.' The parent's love feels more confining than freeing, more demanding than giving, more intrusive than nurturing. Yet these children suffer from what psychologist Kenneth Adams calls The Silent Seduction—because there is nothing loving or caring about a close parent-child relationship that services the needs of the parent rather than the child. In this revised and updated 20th anniversary edition of his groundbreaking book Silently Seduced, Dr. Adams explains how 'feeling close,' especially with the opposite-sex parent, is not the source of comfort the image suggests, especially when that child is cheated out of a childhood by being a parent's surrogate partner. He offers a framework to understand this covert incest and its effect on sexuality, intimacy, and relationships, and how victims can begin the process of recovery.

Mellody sets forth five primary adult symptoms of this crippling condition, then traces their origin to emotional, spiritual, intellectual, physical and sexual abuses that occur in childhood.

Book Synopsis The Emotional Rape Syndrome by : Michael Fox, Ph.D.
Download or read book The Emotional Rape Syndrome written by Michael Fox, Ph.D. and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2015-08-28 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We can touch the part of a person’s body that gets used to sexual rape, but we can’t touch what gets used in emotional rape – the higher emotions of love or trust, for example. Sexual rape is a violation of the human body – emotional rape is a violation of the human soul. This book is about identifying, preventing, and healing emotional rape. It’s about telling victims that they didn’t do anything morally wrong – that they are not to blame for what happened to them and that recovery is possible. It’s about telling victims how they can recover – to become survivors. Only after this underrated trauma is properly identified can survivors begin to heal their wounds. Only when it is discussed honestly and openly can we, as individuals and as a society, act effectively to prevent the spread of this destructive behavior.
