  In reading (and rereading) his article, there's something really troubling to me.  In the article, Gustafson talks about  the "four significant dimensions to recovery."  They are External Accountability (conviction, in his case), Internal Responsibility (it's not the victim's fault), Therapy, and finally internalizing all this to change oneself.
  
  Note that the entire focus here is on the abuser's recovery.  Note also that this "conclusion" by Gustafson comes from the help provided him, presumably with significant church guidance and funding.   
  
  The missing part here is doing anything for the victim.  Is that not a basic tenet of AA, or other similar programs?    I can't get this thought out of my mind: this guy has been rehabbed, and has a story to tell, likely with episcopal support.  
  
  Where is the commitment to a life to support victims?  
  
  I may well be missing some obvious stuff here, but as I read that article, the words sterile or "packaged" come to mind.
