SUMMARY. In responding to the increasing professional recognition of child sexual abuse within the family, this paper, relating data from a clinical sample to epidemiological studies, is the first of a number devoted to experimental approaches being taken to identify and treat this problem. The author goes on to describe the multi‐disciplinary approach taken at the Tavistock Clinic and other treatment centres. The need for close cooperation and coordination of all professionals concerned and for the involvement of all family members in different forms of treatment is particularly emphasised. This paper was given at the 11th International Congress of the International Association for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Allied Professions, Paris, July 1986
