Participants came from both government agencies and feminist voluntary organizations. The initial presentations focused on the sources of myths about child sexual abuse, and feminist theory. Nine workshops on feminist theory focused on a definition of feminist theory; the abuse of power; the nature of motherhood; fathers and masculinity; coping mechanisms; class and racism; and other issues such as the abuse of boys, female abusers, children's sexuality, and the role of male professionals. Discussions of feminist professional practice focused on policy issues, organizational issues, work with women whose children have been abused, other issues for workers, power and dependency issues in work with survivors, and work with abusers. Notes from meetings of 18 special interest groups, appended definitions and sample policy and practice guidelines, 24 references, and list of sources of additional information.
