“…Advantageous cognitive therapies with survivors of childhood abuse which have a focus on client-specific patterns of thought can be used to address a wide variety of psychological and emotional problems associated with traumatic abuse (e.g., Celano, et al, 1996;Wenninger & Ehlers, 1998). Several researchers have suggested counseling models that target the unique thought patterns in individuals with a history of traumatic abuse (e.g., Retief & Conroy, 1997). Such models are based on the assumption that dysfunctional beliefs related to self-esteem or stigmatization, trust or betrayal, powerlessness, and traumatic sexuahzation are unique to survivors of childhood abuse.…”

To treat the effects of traumatic childhood abuse effectively, we propose a model which incorporates information from neurophysiological, psychoeducational, cognitive, and social work literature. The four components of the model reflect the broad range of explanations for pathology posed by researchers and also support the breadth of interventions available for use with survivors of childhood abuse. The model relies on individualized assessment and treatment related to the physiological response to abuse, faulty learning, cognitive and psychological problems, and social effects of abuse. This model contributes to the literature by providing a comprehensive framework complementary to many theoretical orientations, is useful across the helping disciplines, and appropriate in multidisciplinary settings.

This article introduces a special volume on misinformation about child sexual abuse. Despite extensive research findings on the long-term effects and consequences of child sexual abuse, misinformation on this topic is widespread. Several forces have worked to support and disseminate this erroneous information. Because it is difficult to comprehend the horror of sexual crimes against children, society's denial and disbelief have often unwittingly supported the agendas of those who want to discount or minimize the impact of these crimes. The media has also contributed to the aura of skepticism surrounding claims of sexual abuse and its mental health impact, and has reported favorably on controversial and unproven claims such as the “false memory syndrome.” In the hope of countering misinformation and thus raising the level of discourse to the engagement of real scientific issues, a number of well known and respected researchers and clinicians examine various facets of the problem.
