Men who molest. Children who survive
Description
This film is an exploration into the lives of four child molesters. Three of them are in treatment at the nation's largest community-based facility, Northwest Treatment Associates of Seattle. We witness dramatic group therapy sessions in which they struggle to control their deviancy through this tough-minded treatment system. Through close, intimate stories we learn how devastating this crime is to the child and the family. Lucy Berliner, a major national expert in treating children, works with one little girl, encouraging her to face her convicted uncle in prison. This confrontation helps her to see that what happened was not her fault. This film is a powerful resource for mental health professionals, social workers, hospital staff, correction agencies, and crisis centers.
