Diagnosing Child Sex Abuse: A Research Challenge
Duffy, Catrina; Keenan, Mickey; Dillenburger, Karola
International Journal of Behavioral Consultation and Therapy, v2 n2 p150-173 2006
Child sex abuse increasingly is recognised as a societal problem that can no longer be ignored. In this paper definitions, prevalence, trends, assessment, and available diagnostic procedures are described and critically evaluated. It is argued that the lack of reliable diagnostic procedures remains one of the main difficulties in dealing effectively with the detrimental effects of CSA on the child or adult. The research challenge to find effective alternative procedures is outlined.
