4.0 out of 5 stars TESTIMONY, October 7, 2007

By	Robert W. Smith "Robert Smith, Ph.D." (Virginia, USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This is an excellent resource for the professional who has had no or limited experience in testifying regarding child sexual abuse matters (or, for those who have had negative experiences). The author provides background and recommendations for testimony. Like most books published by APA, I found that it safely balanced the scientific with the clinical. In doing so, I found that it provided a disappointing level of detail about abuse, the consultation process, evaluation, preparation, or testimony. For the clinician wishing greater information on the topic or for the clinician wishing for more useful information on the evaluation or testimony processes, I'd recommend augmentation with other relevant sources. Useful resource that is worth the used price.
