Chaffin, Mark; Lawson, Louanne; Selby, Abby; Wherry, Jeffrey N.
Journal of Child Sexual Abuse, v6 n3 p15-29 1997
Reports on girls (n=5) who had been sexually abused but had failed to disclose any sexual contact in a sexual-abuse disclosure interview (false negatives). Results indicate that false negative children had significantly higher levels of dissociative symptoms when compared to "true positive" abused children and non-abused children. (RJM)
