Up to now, there have been few, if any, tests for SECRET CHILD ABUSE. One
main reason is that the child is fiercely intimidated beforehand never to
tell the truth about what happened. We have developed an experimental test I
would like the group to have a review copy WITHOUT CHARGE. This structured
questionnaire OVERCOMES FEAR OF RETALIATION by basing the first half of the
test on symptoms of emotional trauma. The hypothesis is that children who are
abused will often exhibit such symptoms. Because the child is unaware of the
implications of his answers, he is able to respond freely and honestly. For
some reason, not yet known, children tend to "open up" and talk freely about
factual matters toward the second half and end of the test. This instrument
needs reliability and validity studies, but such an instrument is very
critically needed now. For several years, we have been using it in our large
practice and recording the responses. Again, this test is available without
charge upon email request.
Also, we have a free preview of a questionnaire to break through denial in
UNRECOGNIZED DOMESTIC ABUSE. Most women who complete the questionnaire
respond that they did not how abused they really were until they took the
test. Again, free per email request.
See our website, below, for other critical information, including our NEW
BOOK that graphically demonstrates the permanent effects of child abuse and
exposes the early roots of domestic violence. It has helped many toward
recovery. (We can send a FREE sample chapter via download upon email request.)
