Abstract

Marital and family therapists working with families where child sexual abuse is disclosed or suspected face ethical confusion that may not be clearly addressed by professional codes of conduct or legal statutes. Ethical dilemmas commonly encountered in family sexual abuse cases are discussed and recommendations for ethical decision making and action are provided.
