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.

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.
