Abstract

Comments that the article by C. E. Koop (see record 1988-04284-001) reporting on the Workshop on Pornography and Public Health did not distinguish between Koop's views and the consensus of the participating social scientists. The consensus report listed a cautious and scientifically well-supported set of conclusions that were less definitive than reported. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
