J.L.G<\/jats:italic>. (2018) was whether the scientific community agreed that Summit's (1983) Child Sexual Abuse Accommodation Syndrome rested on a firm scientific foundation. Lyon et al. (this issue) critique our approach to describing child sexual abuse disclosure, which involved extrapolating rates from children who came to the attention of authorities. Lyon et al. claim that our conclusions are marred by sampling biases resulting from what they term the <jats:italic>ground truth problem, suspicion bias<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>substantiation bias<\/jats:italic>. The points Lyon et al. claim we \u201cfell victim to\u201d were the very points we acknowledge are inherent difficulties in estimating the extent to which children will come forward to tell others about sexual maltreatment. Lyon et al. offer an alternative solution to the inherent difficulties in studying a difficult\u2010to\u2010identify population, relying in large part on 21 papers published mostly in the 1960s and 1970s. We argue that the method they propose has more flaws than the one it is intended to replace. Points of agreement and disagreement, along with suggestions for future research, are discussed. Moving forward, we argue that studies are needed that embrace both validity and generalizability in order to foster data\u2010driven theories rather than invoking the intuitive suppositions of Summit's (1983) syndromal evidence.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/bsl.2489","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,17]],"date-time":"2020-11-17T09:46:09Z","timestamp":1605606369000},"page":"648-653","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Analyzing the scientific foundation of Child Sexual Abuse Accommodation Syndrome: A reply to Lyon et al."],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"38","author":[{"given":"Kamala","family":"London","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology University of Toledo  Toledo Ohio USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maggie","family":"Bruck","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Johns Hopkins Medical Institution  Baltimore Maryland USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Quincy C.","family":"Miller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology University of Toledo  Toledo Ohio USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stephen J.","family":"Ceci","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Human Development Cornell University  Ithaca New York USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_1_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.chiabu.2018.11.020"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_1_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/088626092007004008"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_1_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/1076-8971.11.1.194"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_1_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/09658210701725732"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_1_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4135\/9781483328645.n4"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_1_7_1","first-page":"41","volume-title":"Child sexual abuse: Disclosure, delay and denial","author":"Lyon T.
