Sexual Abuse Assessments - 9781905541287

In this reference for students, practitioners, and researchers, Calder, a child protection consultant, unites contributors in forensic clinical psychology and social work to highlight a range of assessment frameworks for use with different populations of perpetrators and victims of child sexual abuse, including children and youth with sexual behavior problems, and young females who abuse. There are also guidelines on teaching children body safety skills and boundaries. Numerous tables are included. This book replaces Martin C. Calder's The Complete Guide to Sexual Abuse Assessments, published in 2000 by Russell House Publishing Ltd., and now out of print. For this new book, new frameworks have been added for assessing rape, youth and adult perpetrators with learning disabilities, and Internet child sexual abuse. The book is distributed in the US by ISBS. There is no subject index. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
