The chapter notes the importance of education and training for frontline providers in how to conduct investigations, assessments, and evidence-based interventions. In summarizing evidence-based practice points, the authors advise that cognitive-behavioral interventions are effective in reducing symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder in victims of child sexual abuse, as well as other negative effects. They also advise that interventions should provide a comprehensive strategy for dealing with multiple family problems in addition to the sexual abuse of a child, including domestic violence, substance abuse, poverty, marital problems, and poor communication. The chapter identifies and examines issues and trends in child sexual abuse and reviews the impact of child sexual abuse and the process of disclosure. The roles of the criminal justice system and child protection services in the management of child sexual abuse cases are discussed, with attention to empirically based forensic assessment and intervention strategies. Other features of child sexual abuse cases addressed are interviewing protocols and standardized scales, multidisciplinary teams, child advocacy centers, court involvement, victim advocacy, and involving the nonoffending parent in treatment.
