Professional Bibliographies

The NCAC Professional Bibliographies series provides guides to the literature for practitioners working with children and adolescents who have been sexually, emotionally or physically abused. New bibliographies are added to this website on an irregular basis, as they are completed.

These bibliographies provide references with abstracts to selected publications on the topic. Journal articles, books, chapters, and other publications that are reasonably available appear in the lists. In most cases, dissertations and audiovisual materials are not included.

The NCAC does not provide document delivery service at this time. However, there are successful strategies for obtaining copies of the publications. Every public, academic and health sciences library participates in InterLibrary Lending. Simply request photocopies of articles or loan of books from the Interlibrary Loan Service of the local library at which you have cardholder privileges. (There may be a charge, or not, depending on the library from which the material is obtained.)

The bibliographies are in Adobe Acrobat PDF format, and require Acrobat Reader, which can be downloaded free from the Adobe web site.
