Successfully navigate the minefield of misinformation that can
prevent justice from being done in child sexual abuse cases From
the Foreword, by Robert Geffner, PhD, editor of the Journal of
Child Sexual Abuse: "Too often, the public and some professionals
have been misled by media publicity and articles . . . that appear
scientific, but in reality, are biased opinions or over-generalized
research. Forensic cases are being decided in many courts based
upon the recommendations of so-called expert witnesses'who do not
actually know the clinical research or understand the dynamics of
such abusive relationships." This much-needed book points out and
corrects misinformation that everyone who works with victims,
offenders, or families in which sexual abuse has occurred needs to
understand clearly. Especially vital in today's political climate,
Misinformation Concerning Child Sexual Abuse and Adult Survivors
gives you state-of-the-science information on such myths as "false
memory syndrome," "recovered memory therapy," and the "lack of
harm" to some sexually abused boys. Misinformation Concerning Child
Sexual Abuse and Adult Survivors examines: forensic issues,
including the "false memory" defense and how the long-term impact
of childhood sexual abuse is often misrepresented in court three
separate expert examinations of Rind, Tromovitch, and Bauserman's
well-known--and often misrepresented--review of long-term child
sexual abuse outcomes treatment recommendations and guidelines for
addressing the memory controversy in clinical practice the
fascinating case history/cautionary tale of the child molester
Robert Halsey, who was convicted and sentenced to two life
sentences in 1993, and how public and academic resources were
misused to claim he was wrongly convicted.
