From Library Journal
Based on the premise that "everyone wants to become whole," this book offers help and encouragement to women who were sexually abused in childhood. Through moving firstperson narratives, it illustrates how to come to terms with the past and work constructively towards the future. Along the way it describes the effects of sexual abuse, maps the stages survivors pass through, and offers practical guidance on dealing with self-defeating behaviors and building self-esteem. Supportive strategies are recommended to families, friends, and health-care professionals. The final "Resources for Healing" lists services and self-help programs and a bibliography. Compassionate and supportive. Jodith Janes, Univ. Hospitals of Cleveland

This is the "bible of the recovered memory movement," and it is a misleading and scientifically inaccurate book. The authors, Bass and Davis, are NOT PSYCHOLOGISTS, nor do they have any sort of advanced degrees in the field. They simply are survivors of abuse, and thought they would share their experiences with other people. Survivors like Bass and Davis (and many other women) deserve support and help-- but they also deserve accurate information, and they don't get it from this book. In fact, this book has been used to convince many women that they had been abused when in fact they had not. This is not just my opinion, it is a fact. If you doubt it, see books by Richard Ofshe or Elizabeth Loftus on the subject of recovered memories. If you have been abused, or think you have been, please get ALL the information on the topic, and not just what Ellen and Bass try to tell you. You owe it to yourself.

This book is a great source for survivors of child sexual abuse and for their partners, families, and counselors. The authors propose various stages of the healing process, such as "believing it happened", "remembering", "breaking the silence", etc. Typical experiences, possible problems, and coping strategies are discussed for each stage and writing exercises encourage active personal work. A very valuable aspect is the authors' ability to openly discuss taboo topics like feelings of doubt and guilt. There are many case examples and a lot of practical advice, for example on how to deal with emergency situations.
"The Courage to Heal" is not your usual self- help book and will surely have an enormous impact on anyone reading it.

There was a time that I would have given this book four stars. Not anymore.
Thanks to this book, along with a "helpful" friend who insisted that my periodic nightmares indicated that I MUST have been abused, I went through several years in which I was convinced that I'd been sexually abused and had repressed the memories: I had nightmares, panic attacks, strange sensations that I considered body memories, the works. The thing is, this book will tell you that if you have the SLIGHTEST SUSPICION that you were abused, if it's ever even crossed your mind, that means that you were. Think about that for a minute: maybe _you_ really were abused, but do you really think that there is anyone out there that doesn't suffer from _some_ of the symptoms they mention?
A couple months ago, I got curious about the proponents of False Memory Syndrome and looked into it. While I was in the midst of my "recovery," I viewed the FMS folks as self-evidently a bunch of evil perps, etc. -- I remember a newspaper editorial that upset me for weeks. But that was a long time ago now, and so I was curious.
I found a book with some stories from "Retractors" -- people who recovered memories through the exercises in this book, but later concluded they were false. The thing that struck me overwhelmingly was how closely my experienced paralleled that of those women. Like them, I'd started out with some problems, and welcomed an explanation for them -- but once I picked up "Courage to Heal" and entered therapy, I just felt worse, and worse, and worse, and worse.
"The Courage to Heal" likes to portray recovery as a tunnel: I remember the phrase "there's no way out but through" being tossed around a lot. But the therapy this book offers isn't a tunnel, it's a cave. Like the retractors whose stories I read, I started to feel better only when I left therapy, stopped reading "Courage to Heal," and broke out of the self-absorbed sinkhole I'd fallen into.
If you take a perfectly healthy adult and have them focus all day, every day, on whether they have a headache; if you tell them repeatedly that their headaches are inevitable; if you tell them that once the headache starts it's going to be terrible, but that's OK, because it's normal; if you have them keep a journal on how their head feels; anyone will develop a headache.
Similarly, people who follow the advice in this book are going to end up having nightmares and panic attacks, whether these have any basis in real experiences or not.
Please, please, if you've been caught in this web, check out "Victims of Memory" by Mark Pendergrast, to read the stories of the retractors if nothing else. You have nothing to lose by reading what we have to say except a few minutes of your time.
