Inrage: Healing the Hidden Rage of Child Sexual Abuse. Linda Y. Callaghan. Tyborne Hill. 2003. ISBN: 9780970692696.

Inrage is a book about the anger, trauma, and healing process experienced by survivors of child sexual abuse. The title suggests a focus on hidden rage — the anger that many survivors suppress or turn inward after abuse. The book addresses both the psychological effects of abuse and paths toward recovery. Modern trauma resources also emphasize that anger can be a normal part of healing, especially when it is directed away from self-blame and toward an accurate understanding of what happened.
