Editorial Reviews
Review
“...this is a very important contribution to the neglected area of research on the subject of clergy abuse...”–
“The essays, each of which ends in a substantial bibliography, explore what we know, sexuality in the priesthood, confronting sexual abusers, forensic psychological evaluations, neuropsychological findings, psychological treatment, prevention, victim survivors, and the current status and future objectives.”–
“There are some interesting findings in the volume...The authors approach this subject with compassion....a well-written, informative, and compassionate book. It is useful particularly for people who may be asked to forensically assist or treat victims of sexual abuse, as well as a good general introduction to this problem long shrouded in mystery.”–
Book Description
A tremendous amount of media attention has been devoted to revealing sexual abuse perpetrated by Roman Catholic priests. These essays outline a clinical agenda for professionals dealing with clergy sexual abuse. They should enable research clinical professionals, and clergy to identify the relevant issues in the identification, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of child and adolescent sexual abuse committed by Roman Catholic priests. Leading experts in the field from the United States and Canada have offered their different perspectives on this compelling problem including victim profiles for determining who is at risk.
