About Blind to Betrayal:
Written by one of the world’s top experts on betrayal, child abuse, and trauma, Blind to Betrayal explains many different forms of betrayal, revealing why its victims can endure mistreatment, sometimes for years, without seeming to know that it is happening, even when it may be obvious to others around them. In particular, our conversation will center on institutional betrayal, ways that institutions cause harm to those that depend on them, and institutional courage, our commitment to instead protect and care for members of our communities.
