Key Phrases: exaggerated dolls, false abuse accusations, anatomically complete dolls, Dean Tong, Mark Doe, United States

"The book is a life jacket for the falsely accused parent and inexperienced attorney. Dean Tong is an internationally known forensic consultant on related child abuse, domestic violence and child custody cases."

"At the center of this important (and frankly, long overdue) book about parents falsely accused of sexually abusing their children is a pernicious phenomenon called the "Sexual Allegations In Divorce" (SAID) syndrome. This syndrome is symptomatic of a legal and child protective services system gone horribly wrong, so that not only aren't the children being protected from abuse, they end up being abused by the system itself." - Dennis Littrell

"It is estimated that allegations of domestic violence, abuse, or sexual abuse are presently made in one-third of all divorces, primarily to gain financial, material, or custodial advantages. Studies consistently show that only a small percentage of these criminal charges are justified. Thus, Dean Tong's book "Survival Guide for the Falsely Accused" is an essential reference for the tens of thousands of men trapped in the quicksand of false allegations every year. The book should also be read by every legislator, attorney, judge, mental health professional, victim's advocate, social worker, and child protective service worker dealing with these issues." - Charles Corry

"Mr. Tong's writing is superb, the organization of the book, intermixing personal stories with legal and social issues, provides for a wonderful reading, and the appendices offer a wealth of resources of information for those needing assistance. I recommend this book most highly for everyone interested (and everyone should be interested) in how our society's laws have developed to protect children, and how these laws are being used to perpetrate what Mr. Tong refers to as "the reverse cycle of child abuse." This book is simply a must-read for all who want to know what is happening in our society regarding the abuse of children. Survival Guide for the Falsely Accused is a singular and comprehensive resource that will make you think, and perhaps act, so that our society will more equitably address this important topic, protecting both children and those who stand accused." - Dr. Joseph J. Plaud
