[YEAR] 2006 [CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE LITIGATION] Assessing the validity of child sexual abuse allegations [AUTHOR] Kristine Jacquin PhD [SELECTION] 10709 [ABSTRACT] Each year, hundreds of thousands of sexual abuse allegations are made by children. Of those, between 5 and 35% are later proven to be false. Child sexual abuse is a serious problem, so it is essential to separate true occurrences from false allegations. In cases in which physical evidence or an adult eyewitness is not available, psychologists may be called upon to evaluate the veracity of the child s abuse allegations. The purpose of this presentation is to describe the challenges faced by psychologists in this role, and to provide an overview of relevant research to guide psychologists who are involved in such cases. Kristine M. Jacquin, Ph.D. is an assistant professor of clinical psychology at Mississippi State University. She is a licensed clinical psychologist with a part-time private practice specializing in forensic and neuropsychological evaluations. [SOURCE]
