rings mostly true

I listened to the whole thing within 12 hours because I was curious to see what his thoughts are since it's his life's specialty. I wanted to see if it would track with my own experience. I'm a therapist and I work with child victims of abuse and their families, but on rare occasion with offenders and children who have both been victims and offenders.

I would say I agree with 80% of what he says. However, he is more optimistic than I am because so few people, much less sex offenders, are willing to be openly apologetic, humble and commit themselves to rectifying their mistakes.

The best thing about this book perhaps is that it highlights the fact that there really should be no stereotypes since offenders are all so different in their "MO" and their level of insight/self- awareness.

Equally important is to take the time to consider that many of these incidents of abuse are complex and warrant an examination of the context that surrounded the abuse. Preventing further child abuse (and sometimes healing) requires an honest inquiry into the many aspects of the problem... and not just an automatic condemnation and banishment of offenders to suffer without any hope for redemption.

So so

Interesting topic and insight. However some of the content was repetitive and the narration was dull and monotone. At times it sounded like a computer recording.
