Re: resource for mother of abused child

[sazar@xxxxxxxxxx]

the best treatment work with sexually abused children is Esther
Deblinger's. She has a treatment manual (I think by either Sage or Plenum)

She works with children and their mothers around ptsd symptoms


She has empirically validated models of treatment using a cognitive
behavioral framework. Unfortunately, I do not have the manual handy to
give you the exact reference.
