Free to Be Children

It's time to do something different to stop child sexual abuse in Aotearoa New Zealand. It wrecks lives, families, and communities. In this landmark book, well-known registered clinical psychologist Robyn Salisbury seeks the wisdom of those who have devoted many years, each in their own domain, to working with child sexual abuse. Free to Be Children makes a major and unique contribution to understanding how we can best tackle the tragedy of child sexual abuse as a nation, and how urgent it is that we do. From its foreword by Children's Commissioner Judge Andrew Becroft to its chapters by survivors, clinical psychologists, the Chief Censor, experts on child sex-trafficking, and psychotherapists, the expertise contained in its pages offers a blueprint for best practice and cannot be ignored.
