Women Who Sexually Abuse Children: From Research to Clinical Practice (Wiley Series in Child Care & Protection) 1st Edition 1996, By Jacqui Saradjian.
Based on in-depth research and clinical practice, this book aims to raise further awareness by providing information as to the ways in which these women can and do sexually abuse, and, by considering the possible motivations, to lead ultimately to more effective assessment and intervention strategies.

The women’s attitudes, beliefs and opinions are reflected throughout and the research is illustrated with relevant case material.
