Re: Ethical issues

[Desmond Runyan <desmond_runyan@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The July 2000 issue of the Journal of Interpersonal Violence is 
entirely devoted to the ethical and methodological issues of asking 
children about maltreatment hisotries.  I suspect that several of the 
articles, including the article by King and Churchill on research 
ethical principles in this area will be useful.

Good luck,
