As a counselor, I highly recommend this book as a tool for counselors to use with their clients when addressing sexual assault and rape.
The author has taken great pains to structure this work so that the client/reader has everything they need in place in their lives before they plunge into recalling the traumatic incident and working through it on a deep level. This is crucial as a good counselor will want to make sure the client has many resources and effective support so that their daily life is not destroyed due to this difficult work.
Although the book can be read by a survivor on their own, I strongly suggest that the reader find a competent counselor, as many issues, memories, thoughts and feelings will arise that must be discussed in a timely manner. Survivors of sexual assault can already experience isolation and it is extremely important that the reader receive effective and skilled care.
