This pioneering volume brings a rarely-studied population--wives
and girlfriends of men who molest children--into the clear focus
necessary to understand the dynamics of these disturbed families.
Details of the study spotlight interview methodology, format,
structure, and safety as the subjects provide crucial data--about
their partners as well as themselves--typically overlooked by law
enforcement and other professionals. Findings clarify or replace
popularly held ideas about the psychology of partners of child
molesters, and of the abusers themselves, in key areas such as
childhood experience of sexual abuse and the construction of
elaborate fictions to cover the abuse. In addition, a comparative
analysis of findings by American and Dutch researchers provides
early possibilities for cross-cultural research. Included in the
coverage: The interviewees: developmental and abuse history,
relationship with the molester. The molesters: abuse, arrest, and
mental health histories. Practical suggestions for conducting
interviews. Opportunities for intervention in primary care. Common
behaviors of molesters. The involvement of pornography. Child
molestation cases are among the most difficult in terms of
obtaining information. Taking original steps toward capturing the
whole story, Wives of Child Molesters within the Family is as
significant to law enforcement personnel as it is to mental health
professionals dealing with molesters and pedophiles.
