Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
This book is an example of what is all too infrequently available to mental health professionals. This blending of theory, research, and clinical experience is a true example of the scientist-practitioner model of mental health practice. Dr. Kuehnle first reviews pertinent research in the areas of developmental psychology, cognitive psychology, and clinical psychology and makes clear the implications of theory and empirical findings for the clinical evaluator. She then reviews the sexual abuse and sexual abuse evaluation literature, and offers empirically informed and practical guidelines and recommendations for the clinician examining children who are suspected of being sexually abused. Given its format and content areas, this volume will be of great value to both highly experienced and less experienced mental health professionals working in this field. --Randy K. Otto, PhD, ABPP, Assistant Professor, Department of Mental Health Law & Policy, Florida Mental Health Institute, University of South Florida

One of the Most Helpful In Assessing Allegations of Abuse,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Assessing Allegations of Child Sexual Abuse (Hardcover)
Of all the books addressing this complex area in Child Custody Evaluation, this text is the one I found most helpful. The author's use of nine hypothesis for testing the information gathered in the evaluation is the central theme in using this text. Allegations of child abuse in family law conflict are some of the most sensitive and important questions an evaluator ever faces. The stakes are very high for everyone, especially the children. This text has a very rich array of current research and demonstrates a comprehensive and insightful knowledge of this field. In completing a recent evaluation, I found this text extrordinarily helpful.

The Best Text in thhis Field,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Assessing Allegations of Child Sexual Abuse (Hardcover)
Assessing Allegations of Child Sexual Abuse is easily one of the best researched and practical texts in this field. In an arena fraught with landmines, Dr. Kuehnle provides a balanced roadmap for assessing these allegations and protecting children. I particularily like and value the nine hypotheses she uses as a framework for analysing the data and making a balanced, thoughtful recommendation. Of all the many texts I have read in this field, this one is clearly the best.
