Abuse in the Jewish Community: Religious and Communal Factors That Undermine the Apprehension of Offenders and the Treatment of Victims

by Michael J. Salamon

"Dr Michael Salamon combines years of experience in treating victims of sexual abuse and an intimate knowledge of Orthodox Judaism. In his valuable new book he clarifies the trauma resulting from abuse and the particular impact of religious values in creating difficulties in confronting predators and in therapy. Reading this work will help the community make the changes needed to effectively reduce the present threat to many of our youth." -- Rabbi Yosef Blau
