A STUDY OF THE PROBLEMS CONFRONTING PROFESSIONAL PEOPLE WHO COME ACROSS POSSIBLE CASES OF SEXUAL MOLESTATION OF CHILDREN.
Abstract
THE AUTHOR DISCUSSES EACH OF WHAT HE FEELS ARE THE THREE MAJOR PROBLEMS IN DEALING WITH THESE CASES: LACK OF RECOGNITION OF CASES, FAILURE TO OBTAIN MEDICAL CORROBORATION, AND THE RELUCTANCE OF A PROFESSIONAL TO REPORT CASES OR SUSPECTED CASES. THREE BRIEF CASE STUDIES ARE GIVEN ALONG WITH STATISTICS REGARDING REPORTS OF SUSPECTED SEXUAL ABUSE OF CHILDREN IN CONNECTICUT.
