Practitioners may be called upon to assess adults who have alleged child abuse as a minor and are seeking reparations. Such assessments may be used by the courts to determine harm and assess damages related to their claim or testimony. Our clinical/research team has conducted many such evaluations and reported the findings pertaining to the psychological harm stemming from historical abuse in published studies. We use the opportunity provided by this new section on Practical Strategies to describe the role of the assessor, and to provide details concerning our methods for preparing these assessments and reporting the findings for the purpose of civil or criminal actions. Specific recommendations for wording of written reports are provided.
从业者可能会被要求评估那些声称自己在未成年时遭受过虐待并正在寻求赔偿的成年人。法庭可能会利用这些评估来确定他们的主张或证言所涉及的伤害，并评估相关损害赔偿。我们的临床/研究团队已经进行了许多此类评估，并在已发表的研究中报告了与历史虐待相关的心理伤害的发现。我们利用实用策略这一新版块提供的机会，描述评估员的角色，并详细介绍我们为民事或刑事诉讼准备这些评估和报告结果的方法。还提供了书面报告措辞的具体建议。
