Although many now correlate the experience of sexual abuse as a child with the later experience of becoming an abuser/predator very few texts have tackled the issue in a clear way. If you don't care to be bogged down in research and are looking for a foundation and suggestions for therapy and training give this book a read. I found it useful.

Difficult to read, but insightful reading just the same
