Handbook of Child and Adolescent Sexuality: Developmental and Forensic Psychology 1st Edition
Purchase options and add-ons
Adolescent and child sexuality is studied by developmental psychologists from a research perspective and is of interest to forensic psychologists dealing with abuse and custody issues as well as rape cases. In many cases, it is of interest whether the child in question was sexually active to understand the extent to which an underage minor might have voluntarily participated in sexual activity as opposed to having been coerced. Previously, researchers interested in the applications of their research needed to look to separate books, and forensic specialists needed to look to development books to find the information they may have needed. This handbook provides both audiences with the related information they need.
- Encompasses normative behavior and clinical disorders in one source

"...provides solid data on the range of sexual tendencies and thus allows for the understanding of normative and non-normative juvenile sexuality…substantially aid the therapist in the trenches of clinical work with adolescents and children.
...provides solid data on the range of sexual tendencies and thus allows for the understanding of normative and non-normative juvenile sexuality…" --New Jersey Psychologist
"This book covers child and adolescent sexuality from a developmental perspective, while considering normal development and paraphilias and exploring child abuse victims and adolescent offenders…The book is fairly easy to read and covers the topic well, addressing ethical issues, research strategies, developmental information, treatment recommendations, and public policy. It will be useful to a wide range of medical, mental health, and legal professionals." Rating: 4 Stars --Doody.com, January 24, 2014
"Editors Bromberg and O'Donohue present this reference on the sensitive topic of sexuality in non-adult populations. The book is divided into five general headings of professional ethics, research strategies, sexuality across development, sexual victimization, and sexual behavior problems, with the sections on development and victimization being largest…The book is intended for a broad audience, from researchers and mental health professionals to legal experts." --Reference and Research Book News, October 2013
