A comprehensive guide to the identification, assessment, and treatment of child sexual abuse
The field of child sexual abuse has experienced an explosion of research, literature, and enhanced treatment methods over the last thirty years. Representing the latest refinements of thought in this field, Handbook of Child Sexual Abuse: Identification, Assessment, and Treatment combines the most current research with a wealth of clinical experience.
The contributing authors, many of whom are pioneers in their respective specialties, include researchers and clinicians, forensic interviewers and law enforcement professionals, caseworkers and victim advocates, all of whom do the work of helping children who have been sexually victimized.
Offering a snapshot of the state of the field as it stands today, Handbook of Child Sexual Abuse explores a variety of issues related to child sexual abuse, from identification, assessment, and treatment methods to models for implementation and prevention, including:
The impact of sexual abuse on the developing brain
The potential implications of early sexual victimization
Navigating the complexities of multidisciplinary teams
Forensic interviewing and clinical assessment
Treatment options for children who have traumagenic symptoms as a response to their sexual victimization
Treating children with sexual behavior problems and adolescents who engage in illegal sexual behavior
Secondary trauma and vicarious traumatization
Cultural considerations and prevention efforts
Edited by a leader in the field of child therapy, this important reference equips helping professionals on the front lines in the battle against child sexual abuse—not merely with state-of-the-art knowledge—but also with a renewed vision for the importance of their role in the shaping of our culture and the healing of victimized children.

Handbook of Child Sexual Abuse
Chapter One
Child Sexual Abuse The Scope of the ProblemPARIS GOODYEAR-BROWN, ABBE FATH, and LORI MYERS
INTRODUCTION
The problem of child sexual abuse is one riddled with complexity. To have a sexually victimized child give a clear disclosure that is replicated in a forensic interview process, proven in a court of law, and ultimately results in both physical and felt safety for the child client is a hope held by the myriad helping professionals involved in these cases. When the victimization is of a grossly criminal nature, people are quick to term it child sexual abuse (CSA). However, many of the cases that come across the desks of those on the front lines are much more nebulous and require a nuanced view toward identification, assessment, and treatment.
The difficulty begins with definition: What constitutes child sexual abuse? What is the age of consent? What services should be offered to survivors? What consequences are administered to perpetrators? What is considered normal sexual behavior? Abnormal? Abusive? More specific questions, such as: "How much older must the older of two sexually inappropriate children/teenagers be for a discrete sexual act to be called abuse?" The answers to these questions and ones even more basic, including how we define the terms perpetrator and victim, are socially constructed and therefore changeable as societal norms ebb and flow (Barnett, Manly, & Cicchetti, 1993; Bradley & Lindsay, 1987).
