John Rosemond (born November 25, 1947) is an American columnist, public speaker and author on parenting, with 15 books on the subject.
In 1992, Rosemond wrote a column in which he stated that an 18-month-old girl who had been sexually abused on one occasion by a non-family member (babysitter) was unlikely to ever remember the event; therefore, therapy was not called for.
[4] However, it directly contradicts years of research indicating that preverbal trauma has lifelong psychological and neurodevelopmental effects, especially if untreated.
The charge was based solely on the fact that Rosemond's syndicated column appears in five Kentucky newspapers.
Rosemond sued the Kentucky Psychology Board and Attorney General in federal court, charging them with attempting to suppress his First Amendment rights.
