"A Profile of the Physical Abusers of Children" by Pat Alford, Don Martin, and Maggie Martin reviews the literature to develop a profile of a child abuser and discusses implications for school counselors. "A Preventative Approach to Child Sexual Abuse" by Ann Vernon and Jill Hay describes a sexual abuse prevention program which includes lessons on six different components of sexual abuse and which was designed for children in grades one through six. "Counseling Child Sexual Abuse Victims: Myths and Realities" by Lynn England and Charles Thompson describes the nature and prevalence of child sexual abuse, examines myths and realities about the topic, and presents recommendations for interviewing suspected victims of child sexual abuse.
