Leifer, Myra; Shapiro, Jeremy P.
Journal of Child Sexual Abuse, v4 n4 p27-44 1995
Longitudinally examined the effects of foster care placement versus remaining at home upon the psychological function of 64 African American, sexually abused girls 5-16 years old. Both groups showed declines in affective distress and depression. Overall, there were no significant differences in the psychological function of the girls who remained at home and those who were placed in foster care. (KW)
