Description
Seeking to correct media and "expert witness" misrepresentations concerning child sexual abuse (CSA) and its long-term outcomes, Dr. Whitfield (alcohol studies, Rutgers U., NJ) and his co-editors introduce themes examined in eight articles on what has been identified as a major public health issue, including: societal denial, disinformation as a legal defense strategy, and clinical implications of "false memory syndrome." Also includes critiques of a controversial meta-analysis (Rind, et al., 1998) minimizing CSA sequelae, and a case history of misguided efforts to exonerate a child molester. Co-published simultaneously as Journal of Child Sexual Abuse, v.9, nos.3/4, 2001. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
