Influential papers in child abuse

Influential publications in ecological economics: a citation analysis

“…This is consistent with other recent assessments of the utility of citation analysis in assessing influence or importance (Oates andDonnelly 1997, Abt 2000). Table A1 and Figure 1 shows that the Editorial Board list included many papers (62/92 or 67%) that had less than 15 citations in EE.…”

“…One recent study (Abt 2000) compared a list of "important" papers nominated by senior practitioners in a field (astronomy in this case) with the number of citations they have generated and concluded that "important papers almost invariably produce many more citations than others, and citation counts are good measures of importance or usefulness." Oates and Donnelly (1997) reached similar conclusions in a study of influential papers in the field of child abuse.…”

Du Silence Au Dévoilement : La Résistance Des Enfants À Rapporter Une Agression Sexuelle en Contexte D’entrevue D’enquête

“…Selon ce modèle, le dévoilement est conçu comme un processus complexe et dynamique s'échelonnant dans le temps pour lequel on postule une variabilité dans les comportements possibles des enfants dont une fréquence élevée à garder secret les incidents, à les nier ou à se rétracter d'un dévoilement antérieur. Cet article a été identifié comme l'un des plus influents dans le domaine de l'AS à l'enfance (Bruck et Ceci, 2004;Oates et Donnelly, 1997;London et al, 2005London et al, , 2008Zajac et al, 2013). Néanmoins, en recherche, la théorie de Summit a été hautement critiquée en raison de l'insuffisance de données empiriques pour la soutenir (p.…”

How Children Tell: Containing the Secret of Child Sexual Abuse

“…His 1983 paper was rated by the profession as one of the most influential papers in the field of child sexual abuse (Oates & Donnelly, 1997). His inclusion of a secrecy and retraction stage in the process of the sexual abuse experience underlined the importance of understanding children's difficulties in disclosing.…”

“…Studies have identified factors influencing disclosure or investigated the prevalence of such factors. While attempts at theory building such as Summit's (1983) Child Sexual Abuse Accommodation Syndrome have been influential in informing clinical practice (Oates & Donnelly, 1997), theoretical endeavours have not generated sufficient empirical studies to test their validity. While developmental factors are acknowledged as having a critical influence on the disclosure experience (Paine & Hansen, 2002), there has been little attempt to integrate research in the field of child sexual abuse with that of mainstream developmental psychology.…”
