Community Health Practitioners and Child Sexual Abuse in the Family, 1970s-2010s

Community Health Practitioners and Child Sexual Abuse in the Family, 1970s-2010s

This open access book is an innovative history of community health practitioners’ responses to the seemingly intractable problem of men (and on rare occasions, women) sexually abusing children within the private family home. It is situated within a social history of the development of British community-based health professions in the last decades of the twentieth century.
