The national statistics for child sexual abuse are staggering. In 2004, there were 209,880 victims of rape, attempted rape or sexual assaults according to the National Crime Victimization Survey. While effective treatment alternatives for victims are being provided, non-offending caregivers can be easily overlooked. Mason and Erooga (1990) have described mothers of sexually abused children as "the forgotten parent," a term that could be argued to apply to any non-offending caregiver....

The variables that have predicted participation, however, generally have not predicted cessation. The transtheoretical model has described the stages and processes of change common to a variety of behavior changes. The stages have predicted changes in smoking behavior and an optimal...

This study handles the issue of silence and its reasons, which group leaders frequently face and sometimes have difficulty coping with in non-voluntary training groups. The data for the study were collected from the reports of 61 members in four distinct counseling groups. The groups were led...
