The text presents a child-generated therapeutic model of intervention that guides educators and mental health professionals to acquire information about what and how children think about adults in general and perpetrators in particular, inventory children's strategies for responding to perpetrators, document children's underlying logic for the strategies they identify, and use the information provided by children to guide the selection of techniques to prevent and treat child sexual abuse. The text emphasizes that effective prevention and treatment must emphasize child-generated information that points out to the clinician how typical children think. Individual chapters explain the nature and incidence of child sexual abuse, its correlates, victim vulnerability, children's responses to perpetrators, and intervention principles and techniques. Case examples, tables, index, and approximately 150 references
