Abstract

Discusses the conflict, both conceptual and practical, for mental health professionals who are expected to be involved in the investigation and adjudication of child sexual abuse claims rather than treating the victims and offenders. The author argues that these roles should be separated and suggests a few roles that mental health professionals might beneficially play in legal proceedings. (GLR)
