Recently Tom Doyle sent me an update to his general bibliography on clergy sexual abuse. Here's what Tom said in his covering e-mail:

    I have added some new titles to my general bibliography. This time however I have outlined them in Red to make it easier for anyone who might be looking for the new additions.

    I also want to highly recommend the Haworth Press as a very helpful source of journals and titles that focus on the medical/psychological dimensions of sexual abuse. Their web site is www.haworthpress.com. Haworth has published Myra Hidalgo's outstanding contribution to the literature. It also publishes two (among many) journals that focus on sexual abuse: "Journal on Child Sexual Abuse" and the "Journal of Religion and Abuse." I have found that both regularly contain excellent articles. Since the weakest area of my own bibliography is that which contains entries on the psychological/emotional aspects of abuse I highly recommend Haworth Press as an excellent source. I have been reading more on the effects of abuse so hopefully I'll be able to provide more insightful suggestions in the near future.

    I also want to add to Frank Douglas's strong recommendation of "From Sand to Solid Ground." Frank is right on target. It's outstanding.

    In addition I highly recommend anything by John Shelby Spong, especially "Why Christianity Must Change or Die" and "Jesus for the Non-Religious."

    Finally I want to add yet another table pounding salute to Bishop Geoff Robinson for his outstanding book, "Confronting Power and Sex in the Catholic Church."
