Successfully navigate the minefield of misinformation that can prevent justice from being done in child sexual abuse cases!
From the Foreword, by Robert Geffner, PhD, editor of the Journal of Child Sexual Abuse: “Too often, the public and some professionals have been misled by media publicity and articles . . . that appear scientific, but in reality, are biased opinions or over-generalized research.
