Reviews

$22.95. psych To help researchers and clinicians wade through the extensive literature on child sexual abuse, the authors (a doctoral student and a professor of psychology at the University of Virginia) thoroughly review research studies, identification techniques, intervention strategies, and differing definitions. Their goal is to improve treatment and prevention methods by evaluating, pointing out gaps of knowledge, and delineating legal and therapeutic issues. They cover such topics as victim symptomatology, incestuous families, children at risk, and children as witnesses. Chapter summaries work, but the writing, though jargon-free, is formal. For academic libraries and collections serving professionals. Janice Arenofsky, formerly with Arizona State Lib. Phoenix
