Re: Treatmet of Sexual Abuse

["Benjamin E. Saunders" <saunders@xxxxxxxx>]

I would refer you to a projec we recently completed for the U.S.
Department of Justice that produced a report entitled "Guidelines for
the Psychosocial Treatment of Intrafamilial Physical and Sexual Abuse."
This report developed criteria for rating the theoretical, clinical, and
empirical support for treatment protocols often used in cases of child
abuse.  It then reviewed 24 common treatment protocols and ranked them
according to their level of overall support.  Finally, 22 general
guidelines for treatment were developed.  The report can be downloaded
in PDF format from our web site at   www.musc.edu/cvc/.
