Wounds Beneath Desire Understanding Trauma and Paraphilic Disorders
Trauma does not disappear-it leaves deep marks on the mind, body, and spirit. For many, those wounds show up in unexpected places, including sexuality. Wounds Beneath Desire explores the hidden connections between early life experiences and the development of paraphilic disorders, hypersexuality, and other complex patterns of desire.
Written in clear, accessible language, this book combines clinical insight with compassion, helping readers understand:
How trauma can shape sexual behavior and identity.
The roots of conditions such as voyeuristic disorder, exhibitionistic disorder, fetishistic disorder, sexual masochism, sexual sadism, and others.
Why shame, secrecy, and silence often keep people trapped in cycles of pain.
Practical steps toward healing, self-awareness, and recovery.
Anthony Dover guides readers through real stories, case examples, and practical reflections that bring clarity to a difficult subject. Instead of judgment, the pages offer understanding; instead of despair, they point toward hope and transformation.
Whether you are a survivor, a professional, or someone seeking to understand the hidden wounds of desire, this book is both a guide and a companion on the journey toward freedom.
