N2  - This article reviews the literature concerning the beliefs of mothers regarding child sexual abuse disclosures. It examines the historical context put forward in that literature, whereby mothers of sexually abused children were seen as dependent, passive, and pathological or powerless. It then examines a shifting perspective, which requires the recognition of a mother's role as mediator between the family, their social networks, and public agencies. It concludes that social workers may be discounting the full context for the mother and that a closer examination of her total situation is required so that social work interventions can enable the mother to assume a supportive role
