Full Description
First published in 1988. Child sexual abuse involves the exploitation of a child for the sexual gratification of an adult. A narrower form of child sexual abuse is incest, which refers to the sexual exploitation of the child by another family member. This book provides us a comprehensive and comprehensible current account of what is known and what is not known on the subject of child sexual abuse. Drs. Schetky and Green, both highly skilled and talented child psychiatrists, have a wealth of information and experience that they share in an admirably straightforward and sensible way. They pull no punches, providing the available data, and where no adequate scientific data are available, they draw on their considerable practical knowledge. Each problem area is faced directly and forthrightly, making this book the single-most useful volume for all health care and legal professionals who work with sexually abused children and their families.
