<DIV><BR></DIV><FONT face=arial,helvetica><FONT size=2>Colleagues, <BR><BR>I
have been asked by a local detective about publications regarding the
<BR>phenomenon of child sexual abuse victims changing (increasing) the amount
of <BR>abuse they disclose after the initial (lesser) disclosures. There is a
local <BR>court case that he is anticipating a defense attorney attempting to
discredit <BR>an adolescent males' disclosures because at the initial
disclosure to law <BR>enforcement was significantly less detailed than
subsequent interviews <BR>generated. <BR><BR>Clinically and anecdotally I am
not surprised that a victim would become more <BR>comfortable with discussing
issues, but cannot recall a peer reviewed or <BR>emperically evaluated
publication on the topic. <BR><BR>Any help would be appreciated.
