"In this brilliant, carefully researched and highly original book, Corbett has indeed made the invisible visible, and brought out of the shadows those survivors of, at times, unimaginable trauma. All clinicians working with the impact of early abuse, and its ripples across the lifespan, will find this book both a source of wisdom and hope. I found it immensely moving."- Anna Motz, Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust"In this excellent book, as Alan Corbett embarks on his description of his experiences and understandings of the men he meets for therapy, the reader becomes an integral part of the invisible becoming visible. (...) I cannot praise it highly enough and would urge all practitioners to read it, as it is not only relevant to those working with survivors of male sexual abuse, its utility extends to therapeutic work with men in general."- Dr K T Pemberton
