“If we could somehow end child abuse and neglect, the eight hundred pages of DSM (and the need for the easier explanations such as DSM-IV Made Easy: The Clinician's Guide to Diagnosis) would be shrunk to a pamphlet in two generations.” - John Briere
My musical thoughts about society's reluctance to address child abuse and neglect in all of its forms....

This powerful documentary tells the stories of courageous men from various backgrounds who have experienced sexual abuse, found healing for themselves, and helped many others. The film is an insightful and compassionate mix of storytelling and exploration into issues which may affect men sexually abused as boys, including struggles with intimacy and the cycle of violence. Boys and Men Healing brings understanding, hope, and inspiration to men still struggling with the effects of sexual abuse, and to those who care about them or anyone interested in learning more about this issue. It is a film that has the potential to transform individuals, families, and communities.
