About the Author of Father’s Touch – Donald D’Haene
Father’s Touch maps the breadth and depth of a father’s perversion, his children’s rebellion, the public revelation, and the family’s struggle for acceptance and self-esteem. The author has included court transcripts regarding the child sexual abuse case, plus comments from a father unfit. Here, a pedophile uses the Jehovah Witness faith to subject his children to years of abuse. The Elders, the police, the courts and therapy all play their roles for good or ill as Donald D’Haene recovers as a survivor of sexual abuse.

There is much to be learned from these very personal, absorbing accounts about the power and resiliency of the human spirit in overcoming adversity. This book is a “must read” for social work students and practitioners interested in implementing a strength-based approach to practice.” -David Dupper, Ph.D., Associate Professor University of Tennessee, Knoxville
