Abstract
This study examines several psychological reports to verify whether consultant psychologists use scientifically based procedures during clinical assessment of sexually abused children. To address our aims, first we propose a methodological premise on mixed-method approaches and on the methodological appropriateness paradigm. We then provide a content analysis (run using the T-LAB software) of psychological reports produced by a sample of Italian consultant psychologists. Results show a biased use of some word associations that may lead to confirmatory interpretations.
