Hi Ken,

My thesis specifically addresses the socially-produced norms that deny the coherence of the subject position "male victim of female sexual abuse" in western culture. My research was not clinical, but theoretical, working from ideas developed in feminist theory, gender theory, and queer theory.

I would be happy to forward a copy.

Yours,
James

Hey Cement,

I'd be interested in seeing this also, if you don't mind sharing.

yup. Interested in participating/knowing more about the lack of literature on male survivors of female perpetration.

The best book I've ever read on abusive women and mothers, and an incredible book in general, is "Understanding the Borderline Mother" by Christine Ann Lawson. You have two of her articles listed above. It's incredibly informative about the dynamics of families with abusive mothers and written in a very moving, accessible style.

When He's Married to Mom: How to Help Mother-Enmeshed Men Open Their Hearts to True Love and Commitment by Kenneth Adams and Alexander P. Morgan

The Emotional Incest Syndrome: What to do When a Parent's Love Rules Your Life [Paperback]
Dr. Patricia Love

The Betrayal Bond: Breaking Free of Exploitative Relationships

Mother-Son Incest: The Unthinkable Broken Taboo, An Overview of Findings by Hani Miletski

Bradshaw On: The Family: A New Way of Creating Solid Self-Esteem

Men Surviving Incest: A Male Survivor Shares the Process of Recovery by T. Thomas

Betrayal of Innocence: Incest and Its Devastation
Susan Forward

If I can add one, "Come Here" by Richard Berendzen with Laura Palmer is one of the first books I read about CSA and was very helpful to me in understanding the power and control of an abusive mother. Here is an article that talks about the book and Berendzen's abuse in some detail.
