The Reason for this Volume If we were to judge the seriousness of a
psychosocial problem by the attention that the popular media give
to it, we would have to conclude that the modem world is in the
midst of an epidemic of pedophilic child sexual abuse. One can
scarcely go more than a few weeks in any large metropolitan area
without reading about one of the community's upstanding citizens
discovered to have been sexually involved with children or
adolescents. The attention that the popular media give this topic
is paralleled by the attention that it receives in the social
sciences, where literally dozens of books and more than a thousand
articles have been published on it in the past few years. In fact,
"child sexual abuse," along with "co-dependency" and "dysfunctional
family," have become the avant-garde psychological cliches of the
decade. However, most of the lay and professional literature,
although voluminous, reflect a narrow anthropo-, ethno-, and
chronocentrism that precludes any real understanding of the topic
with anything more than the preconceptions of our times.
