    • 2016, John E. B. Myers, Legal Issues in Clinical Practice with Victims of Violence, Guilford Publications, page 256:
      The fact that a symptom is seen more often in sexually abused than in nonabused children is not enough to conclude that the symptom helps prove abuse. One must also consider the fact that the population of non-abused children is much larger than the population of abused children [] .
