This article reviews studies that have tried to confirm empirically the effects of child sexual abuse cited in the clinical literature. In regard to initial effects empirical studies have indicated reactions of fear, anxiety, depression, anger and hostility, aggression and sexually inappropriate behaviour. Frequently reported long-term effects include depression and self-destructive behaviour, anxiety, feelings of isolation and stigma, poor self-esteem, difficulty in trusting others, a tendency toward revictimization, substance abuse and sexual maladjustment. The controversy over the impact of child sexual abuse is discussed and recommendations for future research efforts are suggested.

In order to improve the quality of research on family violence, the authors have conducted extensive surveys of researchers in the field. In Stopping Family Violence they outline research proposals which they consider to be urgent, with an emphasis on physical child abuse, child sexual abuse and spousal violence. Each proposal is presented with sufficient detail to provide researchers with a clear idea of the methodologies involved, cost estimates, degree of difficulty and time requirements.
