Summary:

This book focuses on the importance of considering the experiences of children from their perspective, when responding to cases of child sexual abuse. Treatment strategies are developed on the basis of the latest research, particularly as regards post traumatic stress disorder. Survival and healing strategies are discussed from the point of view of "the victim as expert, " and consideration is given to the increasing emphasis on community involvement in child protection. Drawing upon helpline data, the authors also offer recommendations on how to improve access to organized services.
