Child Sexual Abuse

Disclosure, Delay, and Denial

Child Sexual Abuse: Disclosure, Delay, and DenialThis volume provides the first rigorous assessment of the research relating to the disclosure of childhood sexual abuse, along with the practical and policy implications of the findings.

Leading researchers and practitioners from diverse and international backgrounds offer critical commentary on these previously unpublished findings gathered from both field and laboratory research.

Cross-cultural, clinical, and multi-disciplinary perspectives are provided. The goal is to learn more about why children frequently remain silent about their abuse, deny it, or if they do disclose, do so belatedly and incompletely, often recanting their allegations over time...

Psychotic Symptoms in Children and Adolescents: Theory, Research and Management

by Claudio Cepeda

Psychotic Symptoms in Children and Adolescents: Theory, Research and ManagementPsychotic Symptoms in Children and Adolescents demystifies the interviewing diagnostic process of psychosis in children and adolescents and provides a valuable resource for treatment.

Psychotic symptoms have traditionally been rationalized and disregarded as products of the child's imagination. There has been a professional reluctance to acknowledge that children could suffer from severe psychotic disorders akin to adult subjects, and that these symptoms merit a comprehensive and systematic evaluation.

This book offers a useful guide to the interviewing process, a review of differential diagnosis, and an overview on psychosocial interventions. It deals also with the use of antipsychotic drugs, beginning with issues related to their use in the field, followed by a review of literature on the subject, atypical side effects, and implementation throughout treatment.

The book fills a vacuum in the field of child and adolescent psychosis, and will have a broad appeal and interest to general psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, to child and adolescent psychiatrists, and many other mental health professionals working with disturbed children and adolescents.

Child Parent Relationship Therapy (CPRT)

by Garry L. Landreth, Ed. D. and Sue C. Bratton, Ph.D.

Child Parent Relationship TherapyThe parent-child bond holds much more emotional significance than the relationship between a therapist and a child.

As filial therapy professionals, Landreth and Bratton maintain that a parent acting as an agent for change in place of a therapist can result in significant therapeutic gains.

Child Parent Relationship Therapy (CPRT) offers a survey of the historical and theoretical development of the filial therapy approach and presents an overview of filial therapy training and then filial therapy processes. The book also includes a transcript of an actual session, answers to common questions raised by parents, children, and therapists, as well as additional resources and research summaries.

The essential companion volume Child Parent Relationship Therapy (CPRT) Treatment Manual contains four major sections: Therapist Notebook, Study Guide, Parent Notebook, and Training Resources. An accompanying CD-Rom allows the therapist to print the necessary training materials for ease of reproduction and enhanced usability.
