Corwin, D., L. Berliner, G. Goodman, J. Goodwin & S. White. Child sexual abuse and custody disputes: No easy answers. Journal of Interpersonal Violence, 2(1), Mar. 1987, 91-105.

The authors argue that reliance on simplified approaches to the complex problem of alleged CSA in the context of child custody disputes is likely to result in misdiagnosis and a failure to protect children who are both sexually abused and caught in custody battles. The authors discuss the limits of clinical impression, the difference between unfounded or unsubstantiated and false accusations of abuse, and the high prevalence of actual CSA in the setting of marital dissolution.
