Book Synopsis

Addressing parents and teachers, Sanderson (psychology, London U., UK) aims to provide accurate information so that they can more easily identify children who are being abused and protect them from it. After considering normal sexual development in children and issues of definition of abuse, she provides chapters describing different types of abusers, the use of the Internet in relation to child sexual abuse, the "sexual grooming" of children offline, the impact of sexual abuse on the child, signs and symptoms of abuse, way of communicating with children about abuse, and means of prevention.
