The resolution model: a comprehensive treatment framework in sexual abuse.

The Resolution Model presents an original framework for the treatment of sexually abused children and their families. It differs from earlier models by offering coordinated guidelines for assessment and treatment modalities that apply to various family members. The key to the treatment process is based on each party's ability to assume responsibility for his or her role in the trauma and its resolution. Each stage of treatment is clearly delineated, and specific goals and tasks are suggested.
