    Masturbation
    Marty Klein, Ph.D · 3/23/00 at 3:54 am ET

    While there is certainly the POSSIBILITY of prior "sexual abuse," there is NO WAY we can say there is "almost certainly" a history of abuse. People are way too varied for us to be able to say such things, particularly with a case as obviously complex as this.

    That said, I agree with Monica's idea that your first step with this client is establishing rapport, and that "therapy" should not begin too soon.
