[YEAR] 2008 [CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE LITIGATION] Psychosexual outcomes for men who were sexually abused in institutions as children and adolescents [AUTHOR] Robert G. Ley, Ph.D. [SELECTION] 10646 [ABSTRACT] In earlier eras, it was not uncommon for some children, particularly boys, to be placed in various institutions if they had significant conduct problems, serious intellectual impairment or learning disabilities, or specific medical conditions. Some special educational and religious initiatives resulted in the wholesale institutionalization of specific ethnic groups. Tragically, oftentimes there was much sexual abuse of institutionalized children by adult staff members. In recent years there has been a proliferation of lawsuits involving such "historical abuse cases," whereby an adult alleges childhood sexual abuse and seeks compensation for psychosocial damages linked to the claimed abuse. Attendees will learn how to conduct a comprehensive assessment in historical abuse cases, such that the link between childhood abuse and adult psychosocial adjustment can be ascertained.--Dr. Robert Ley is a clinical and forensic psychologist in private practice in Vancouver, BC, as well as a professor in the clinical psychology program at Simon Fraser University.
