Working with Children and Young People Who Sexually Abuse : Taking the Field Forward

Thinking, research and practice in this important area of work all continue to change rapidly.

The pressures and expectations on workers and agencies increase.

The consequences for everyone involved are wide-ranging and far-reaching.

Essential reading for anyone who needs to keep up-to-date with how we understand and work with these young people, this book: reports on emerging areas of practice; offers contributions from professional disciplines who have recently become involved in this work; provides a single source for reference and practice on what is new and important; and, has been brought together by an editor whose three earlier books (RHP 1999, 2002, 2005) have all been highly acclaimed. "Essential reading...a mine of information." - "Rostrum". "A range of material from around the world." - "Community Care". "Very interesting and well-written." - "Child & Family Social Work".

This new volume builds on what was reported there. It addresses: research and theory; assessment; intervention; treatment; engagement; management and outcomes. It draws on an even wider range of professional disciplines, continues to offer a range of perspectives and - crucially - extends the availability of options for workers.
