First published in 1988. Child sexual abuse involves the exploitation of a child for the sexual gratification of an adult. A narrower form of child sexual abuse is incest, which refers to the sexual exploitation of the child by another family member. This book provides us a comprehensive and comprehensible current account of what is known and what is not known on the subject of child sexual abuse. Drs. Schetky and Green, both highly skilled and talented child psychiatrists, have a wealth of information and experience that they share in an admirably straightforward and sensible way. They pull no punches, providing the available data, and where no adequate scientific data are available, they draw on their considerable practical knowledge. Each problem area is faced directly and forthrightly, making this book the single-most useful volume for all health care and legal professionals who work with sexually abused children and their families.

Reviews for Child Sexual Abuse: A Handbook For Health Care And Legal Professions

Praise for Nothing But a Smile A remarkable portrait of postwar America . . . Captivating in its detail, and bold in scope . . . [A] divine love story. -- Publishers Weekly, starred review For readers who've been lamenting that there aren't enough good, smart love stories being written these days, Steve Amick's new novel is a quirky, touching, and at times refreshingly masculine valentine. As he immerses us richly and authentically in an era essential to the formation of our national identity, he offers us something just as rare: a tale that serves as a reminder, when we need it most, of why America remains a country with a vast potential for greatness. --Julia Glass Praise for The Lake, The River & the Other Lake The last writer to celebrate the charms of rural Michigan with equal panache was probably Ernest Hemingway. -- Los Angeles Times Wonderful . . . Like [other] great builders of dream worlds, Amick has fashioned his own parallel universe. -- The Washington Post Easygoing, rambunctious . . . Proust isn't the only one who had a madeleine moment. -- The New York Times Book Review
