9780471960720 English 0471960721 There is a growing awareness that the number of women who sexually abuse children is greater than we once thought, and little exists in the current literature to guide practitioners working with these women and/or their victims. Based on in-depth research and clinical practice, this book aims to raise further this awareness by providing information as to the ways in which these women can and do sexually abuse, and, by considering the possible motivations, to lead ultimately to more effective assessment and intervention strategies. By means of interviews, construct grids and questionnaires the author provides a profile of these women'their lives, childhood, own abuse histories, adult relationships with partners, peers and children, social stresses, support networks and coping strategies. This provides a sound basis for treatment as well as indicators for early detection and prevention. The women's attitudes, beliefs and opinions are reflected throughout and the research is illustrated with relevant case material. Wiley Series in Child Care and Protection Edited by Kevin D. Browne The University of Birmingham, UK, and Margaret A. Lynch Guy's Hospital, London, UK, This work is based on in-depth research with more than fifty women who have sexually abused children and therapy that has been carried out with several such women. It describes many aspects of their lives: childhood; own abuse histories; adult relationships with partners, peers and children; social stresses; support networks; and coping strategies. The women's attitudes, beliefs and opinions are reflected throughout and the research is illustrated with relevant case material. Based on this research, an integrated theoretical model is proposed as to the motivations involved when women sexually abuse children. Therapists working in a variety of settings can use the strategies presented in the book to assess a woman's risk of sexually abusing children, and to develop a therapeutic relationship that has been found to be effective in prior interventions. The book also describes the results of research into women involved in ritual abuse.
