Guide Review
Allies in Healing : When the Person You Love Was Sexually Abused As a Child
by Laura Davis

Allies in Healing was written by one of the authors of The Courage to Heal,  That book has been criticized for sections where abuse survivors who don't remember some events are encouraged to imagine what happened.  Allies in Healing avoids such excesses and helps family and friends understand the healing process.
