“…A substantial body of research evidence has been developed during the past decade that documents the nature and the seriousness of the impact on non-offending parents of finding out about the sexual abuse of their children. Much of this research is about the impact on mothers (for example Hooper, 1992;Humphreys, 1992) and research into the impact on fathers (for example Stott, 1998) is less extensive, although both Humphreys (1995) and Trotter (1998) have researched separately the experiences of men and women. The main finding is that parents experience significant levels of emotional distress (Davies, 1995;Deblinger et al, 1993;Hooper, 1992;Manion et al, 1996).…”

This review explores the international literature on therapeutic work with sexually abused children. The emphasis is on the nature, extent and outcomes of non-offending parental involvement in such work. The context is an increasing recognition of the significant influence that non-offending parents may have on their children's recovery and, at the same time, the serious impact on parents themselves of finding out about the sexual abuse of their children, including the impact on their relationships with their children.• Findings: The article identifies a number of distinct approaches to therapy that differ widely in the nature and extent of non-offending parental involvement. The diversity of approach reflects the variety of underlying theoretical orientation. The implications for children's recovery are discussed. • Applications: Involving non-offending parents in therapeutic work with their sexually abused children may be important in promoting successful outcomes. It is argued that the perceived benefits of some of the approaches under review may be used flexibly, and in combination, to make significant advances in practice.
