Evaluating Children Suspected of Having Been Sexually Abused (ASPAC Study Guides)

By Kathleen Faller

A comprehensive APSAC Study Guide, this compact volume provides a critical review of research, practice writings, and opinions about how to interview children who may have been sexually abused. The author presents a focused compilation of information about integral issues, such as models for assessment, interviewer objectivity, number of child interviews, documentation, the use of standardized tests, questioning techniques, media for assessing children, children′s memory and suggestibility, criteria for decision making, and much more. For mental health professionals as well as for a broad spectrum of service professionals involved in child interviewing and assessment, Evaluating Children Suspected of Having Been Sexually Abused saves you time and money. Use this literature review as a study guide to fulfill professional training requirements--without the hassle and cost of a conference, seminar, or workshop--and then as a handy reference to the field. As with all the APSAC Study Guides, Evaluating Children Suspected of Having Been Sexually Abused provides a thorough introduction to critical issues and the literature while offering special savings. For only $95.00 you can use this guide to study the literature to earn seven continuing education units. A conference with similar information would cost on the order of $600 for airfare, hotel, registration, and so on, but you pay only $95.00 for this APSAC Study Guide.
