Professionals' Standards of "Normal" Behavior with Anatomical Dolls and Factors That Influence These Standards.

Kendall-Tackett, Kathleen A.

Child Abuse and Neglect: The International Journal, v16 n5 p727-33 Sep-Oct 1992

Professionals (n=201) working with child sexual abuse victims rated the normalcy of various behaviors with anatomical dolls for children ages two to five. Respondents agreed that overtly sexual behaviors were abnormal for nonabused children, but ratings of ambiguous behaviors varied depending on respondent's profession, gender, and years of experience.
