Product Description

Hurt tells the deeply moving stories of parents after they discover their child has been sexually abused. Julia Webb-Harvey beautifully narrates and facilitates parents' exploration of the truly horrible experiences - devastation, struggles and crushing isolation - and how they set about remaking their own lives and those of their families. Hurt tells it like it is, tackling the social taboo of childhood sexual abuse.

"At last, thanks to Julia Webb-Harvey, a book written by experts through lived experience on the plight and courage of loving parents, who face the trauma of their child's abuse, often caused by their own partner. A must for survivors and clinicians alike." Dr Valerie Sinason is a writer and psychoanalyst.

"Hurt is an important book, which faces up to the reality of childhood sexual abuse. Hurt gives hope that families can recover, and will be a massive support to any parent/carer suffering the aftermath of sexual abuse." Denise Hubble, Clinical Services Manager, Mosac.

"Every parent should read Hurt - it is not an easy read, but it is truly amazing. The stories are haunting and will stay with me for a long time." Karen K, parent.
