PREFACE
Sexual thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are of central importance
throughout the lifespan and across cultures. Every known society, both
current and ancient, has had rules regarding who may have sexual relations
with whom and under what circumstances. The acceptability or proscrip-
tion of autoerotic behavior has received a focus that is equally as strong. In
today’s world, considerable attention is being given to the management of
children, adolescents, and adults whose sexual behaviors cross acceptable
boundaries and infringe on the well-being of others. Because experiences
throughout childhood and adolescence have a significant impact on devel-
opment throughout the lifespan (Fox & Rutter, 2010), understanding the
origins of sexual interests and behaviors is clearly of importance.
The scientific study of human sexuality is fraught with an assort-
ment of ethical and practical obstacles. Such obstacles are magnified when
attempting to study childhood and adolescent sexuality. Paradoxically,
much more is known about the sexual thoughts, feelings, and experi-
ences of minors who have experienced and/or perpetrated sexual abuse
than about “normal” sexual development. The foregoing situation is prob-
lematic, as surprisingly little is known about what constitutes “normal”
sexual development in children and adolescents. The goal of this book is
to synthesize what is currently known about human sexual development
early in the lifespan and about factors that derail sexual development. The
Handbook should be of utility to a wide range of professionals includ-
ing the following: clinical, forensic, and developmental psychologists; child
psychiatrists and other mental health professionals; pediatricians and nurse
practitioners; and attorneys. We expect that students in these fields will
find this volume to be of utility. Professionals involved in the development
and evaluation of programs for sexuality education, sexual health clinics,
and public policy makers will likely find the Handbook to be a valuable
resource, as well.
The first part of the book contains a chapter on ethical issues. The four
parts that follow cover the following topics: research strategies; child and
adolescent sexual development; children and adolescents as sexual abuse
victims; and children and adolescents with sexual behavior problems.
Part Two, Research Strategies, addresses techniques commonly employed
in child and adolescent sexuality research, as well as less frequently used

strategies. Such strategies include meta-analytic techniques and small-n
research designs. Part Three, Child and Adolescent Development, addresses
sexual development, both pre-and post-puberty. We include chapters on
factors influencing condom and contraceptive use in adolescents, influences
of alcohol and illicit drug use on sexual behavior, and on sexual minor-
ity adolescents. Part Four, Children and Adolescents as Sexual Abuse Victims,
covers epidemiology, psychological and medical assessment and treatment,
prevention of sexual abuse, adolescents involved in prostitution and porno-
graphy, and legal issues pertaining to adolescent victims. In Part Five, the
final section of the book, readers will find a chapter on children who dis-
play sexual behavioral problems, and another on adolescents adjudicated for
having committed sexual offenses. The section concludes with an excellent
chapter on legal responses to adolescent sexual offending.
It is our hope that this book will need substantive revisions and additions
as more research on child and adolescent sexuality becomes available.
