ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of the book. The book shares with the reader 30 years of author's personal experiences in treating the survivors of sexual assault and sexual molestation. It should be seen as a guideline to be supplemented by the best possible source of knowledge in this field, that is, personal experience. Each new survivor will be a teaching aide, bringing something new, unique, and different to the total experience that the therapist accumulates. The personality of the therapist is an important factor when considering an individual's qualifications to treat the survivors of sexual abuse. Comfort with sexuality necessarily includes the therapist's sexual prejudices, sexual moralizations, lack of adequate sex education, problems with sexual slang and 'street language', rigid sexual preferences, strong religious judgments regarding human sexual behavior.
