True And False Allegations Of Child Sexual Abuse

It is important for society that the backlash does not result in the reburial of the problem of child sexual abuse. 'True and False Allegations of Child Sexual Abuse' represents an important contribution to that effort. This book is about conducting evaluations of allegations of child sexual abuse that take into account research knowledge and practice wisdom. It is not a cookbook about how to do evaluations. Rather, it provides a great deal of food for thought and is aimed at child abuse professionals who can critically read and test the material against their experiences in the field. It includes a wide spectrum of information, approaches, and opinions about child sexual abuse evaluation.
