TY - JOUR PY - 2001// TI - A critical appraisal of the 1998 meta-analytic review of child sexual abuse outcomes reported by Rind, Tromovitch, and Bauserman JO - Journal of child sexual abuse A1 - Lemmey, D. E. A1 - Baker, G. A1 - Tice, P. P. A1 - Whittenburg, J. A. SP - 135 EP - 155 VL - 9 IS - 3-4 N2 - The goal of this article is to present a methodological critique of the 1998 meta-analysis of child sexual abuse outcomes by Rind, Tromovitch, and Bauserman. Seven major concerns are addressed. Rind et al.'s view is, at best, extremely limited. By restricting a supposedly broad meta-analysis to only some of the population in question, the conclusions they drew regarding this complex topic, primarily that adult-child sex is not necessarily harmful, are invalid.
