The Evaluation of Child Sexual Abuse Allegations: A Comprehensive Guide to Assessment and Testimony

This is a collection of articles by respected, well-known professionals in the fields of evaluating children about sexual abuse, and using that information in a court setting. It has critical information for any mental health professional who is engaged in such activities, including therapists who get 'caught up' in these situations, at times, unawares. The information on normative sexual behaviors for children is especially comprehensive. The section on actually testifying is more brief than the title implies, so if this is your main focus, a different volume would be preferable. However, overall an essential component for the professional's library.
By Sarah H. Kramer
This is an excellent resource for forensic psychologists and therapists who deal in child sexual abuse. It is very thorough and up to date on the research as well as providing the practical information to conduct the state-of-the art evalautions.

The authors are to be commended on putting together this valuable and and easy to use resource.
