Thoughts on the Developmental Roots of Sexual Aggression

(Robert A. Prentky and David D. Cerce)

Why do some people become sexually aggressive while others become nonsexually aggressive? If we had answers to this question, we might be able to tailor much more effectively our efforts to intervene in the course of habitual aggressive behavior Further, being able to predict with some accuracy who would become dangerous, we could more confidently develop early intervention and treatment programs.


Adult Male Victims of Child Sexual Abuse

(Robert J. Kelly, Virginia MacDonald, and Jill Waterman)

One on the most underresearched and clinically underserved populations is that of adult males who were sexually abused during childhood. While there has been a growing literature on the initial and long-term effects of sexual abuse on females (for a review see Browne and Finkelhor, 1986), few studies have examined the effects of child sexual abuse on males.


Problems of Belief in Approaching Patients’ Accounts of Ritual Abuse

(Jean Goodwin)

"How do you tell if what I say is real?" asked a patient.


Guidelines for HIV Testing of Sexually Abused Children

(Martin Finkel)

Should sexually abused children and adolescents be screened for HIV antibody, and if so, what studies should be performed and when should they be repeated?


Journal Highlights

(Susan Kelley)

The purpose of Journal Highlights is to alert readers to current literature on child abuse. Selected articles from journals representing the variety of disciplines reflected in APSAC s membership are presented in the form of an annotated bibliography.
