TY - JOUR PY - 1986// TI - Social-cognitive skills training with a sexually abused and abusive child psychiatric inpatient: Training, generalization, and follow-up JO - Journal of family violence A1 - Kolko, David J. SP - 149 EP - 165 VL - 1 IS - 2 N2 - This paper describes the clinical application of a social-cognitive skills training program for an 11 1/2-year-old child psychiatric inpatient with a history of sexual abuse and neglect who was referred for hospitalization after sexually molesting a neighborhood girl. The content and procedures of the program are outlined in detail to facilitate replication. Results indicated that improvements were found on analogue role-play scenarios administered during training-which then generalized to several specific and general measures of social adjustment/competence on the inpatient unit. A 1-year follow-up assessment revealed the maintenance of these therapeutic gains. The implications of this therapeutic approach with maltreated children and need for more rigorous empirical outcome studies are discussed.
