Santos-Iglesias, Pablo; Sierra, Juan Carlos – Journal of Interpersonal Violence, 2012
Sexual revictimization is frequent among victims of child sexual abuse.

The main objective of…

Childhood sexual abuse (CSA) has several deleterious effects on health and well-being, including increased risk for rape in adulthood.

In an effort to…

Sexual Offenders' Modus Operandi: A Comparison of Structured Interview and Questionnaire Approaches.

Kaufman, Keith L.; And Others – Journal of Interpersonal Violence, 1996

Loftus, Elizabeth F.; And Others – Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 1994
Discusses findings from L.M. Williams study (1994). Findings do not provide cogent support for claim that childhood sexual trauma is routinely banished from conscious awareness and then can be reliably recovered later. Findings do support claim that many children can forget about a sexually abusive experience from their past. (BF)

Williams, Linda Meyer – Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 1994

It is argued here that research suggests that memory of child sexual abuse may be influenced by more than the "simple forgetting" that E. Loftus et al. suggested.…
