TY - JOUR PY - 2017// TI - The fears and futures of boy victims of sexual abuse: an analysis of narratives JO - Journal of child sexual abuse A1 - Foster, Jennifer M. SP - 710 EP - 730 VL - 26 IS - 6 N2 - Qualitative analysis of boys' narratives about child sexual abuse revealed several themes, including memories of the abuse, the disclosure and subsequent events, the healing journey, and a meta-theme titled "fear and safety." In this article, boys' (N = 19) experiences related to fear and safety and the healing journey are explored. The narratives provided a unique look at boys' road to recovery, perceptions of counseling, and hopes for their futures. Recommendations for counseling boy victims are discussed.
