Reviews

The 1991 edition of this book, with updated Preface, has current relevance for those striving to protect children from sexual crime who, like the Cleveland professionals, similarly witness the silencing of abused children and face brick walls of denial, disbelief and interference with their practice. The authors, who in 30 years have never ceased to proactively protect children, provide direction and inspiration to those following in their footsteps. Liz Davies, London Metropolitan University By shedding light behind the headlines in Cleveland, this book highlights ill-informed societal discourses about sexual abuse... The new additions show the relevance of analysis of this high-profile case, and its insights should significantly inform current efforts to curtail abuse. Elly Hanson, Clinical Psychologist
