About the Book

A quote from the 2017 published report from the University of Nebraska, authors:

David J. Hansen

entitled Impact of child sexual abuse on non-abused siblings: A review with implications for research and practice says this: "Despite the knowledge that CSA impacts the entire family, there has been a striking lack of research on non-abused, non-offending siblings."
