	::''Li (1990: 146-180) highlights significant methodological and theoretical problems with CSA research. He criticises Finkelhor's four-factor model of ‘traumagenic dynamics’ in CSA for obfuscation, by casually and uncritically constructing ‘thing-like entities that could cause harm to children’, whilst giving the impression that the harmful effects derived from such dynamics are objectively grounded, rather than attempts to reinforce an ideological stance (p. 169). Secondly, Li argues that CSA findings are mediated through a victimological labelling process, which creates the potential for a ‘self-fulfilling potential’ of iatrogenesis, or induced symptoms created by the medical profession, whereby respondents construe their experiences in a particular way (often negatively) after participating in CSA research (p. 177-178).''<ref>Richard Yuill, ‘A Critical Analysis of Subjectivist-Based Theorising and Research on Male Intergenerational Sexualities’, (published online as HTML: date unspecified), available at: <http://web.archive.org/web/20201021161456/http://williamapercy.com/wiki/index.php?title=A_Critical_Analysis_of_Subjectivist-Based_Theorising_and_Research_on_Male_Intergenerational_Sexualities></ref>		::''Li (1990: 146-180) highlights significant methodological and theoretical problems with CSA research.

'''Chin-Keung Li''', also known as '''C.K. Li''' (birth-date unknown), is Senior Clinical Psychologist in the United Kingdom. For his PhD research, Dr. Li conducted one of the then-few non-forensic / non-clinical research projects on the self-perception of self-identified [[pedophile]]s. Conducting research from summer 1983 to the end of 1986 at the University of Cambridge, the project was supported by three separate research grants under the supervision of Cambridge Criminologist [[Donald West]], with Li giving their thanks to [[Ken Plummer]] for their "helpful comments" on the research. Li's dissertation was published in the book ''Children’s sexual encounters with adults: a scientific study'' (1990).<ref>Donald J. West, T.P. Woodhouse, and C.K. Li. (1990). ''Children’s sexual encounters with adults: a scientific study'' (London: Duckworth, 1990).</ref><ref>For a review of the book, see [https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/the-british-journal-of-psychiatry/article/abs/childrens-sexual-encounters-with-adults-by-c-k-li-d-l-west-and-t-p-woodhouse-london-duckworth-1990-343-pp-3995-child-sexual-abuse-in-northern-ireland-by-the-research-tea King (1991)].</ref>

As a summary of Li's dissertation explained,<ref>https://www.mhamic.org/sources/li1.htm</ref> Li compared the arguments and perspectives on [[consent]] offered by [[Thomas O'Carroll]] in his ''Paedophilia: The Radical Case'' (1980)<ref>Thomas O’Carroll, Paedophilia: The Radical Case (London: Peter Owen Publishers, 1980), available online at: <https://www.ipce.info/host/radicase/radical_new_cleaned1.pdf></ref> book, and [[CSA]] researcher [[David Finkelhor]]'s classic article ''What's wrong with sex between adults and children?'' (1979).<ref>Finkelhor, What's wrong with sex between adults and children?, ''American Journal of Orthopsychiatry'', vol. 49, 1979, pp. 692-697. ([https://www.mhamic.org/sources/finkelhor.htm Summary]).</ref> Li finds flaws in each and proposes a compromise between the two perspectives. Sociologist [[Richard Yuill]] wrote of his Li's thesis:

::''Li (1990: 146-180) highlights significant methodological and theoretical problems with CSA research. He criticises Finkelhor's four-factor model of ‘traumagenic dynamics’ in CSA for obfuscation, by casually and uncritically constructing ‘thing-like entities that could cause harm to children’, whilst giving the impression that the harmful effects derived from such dynamics are objectively grounded, rather than attempts to reinforce an ideological stance (p. 169). Secondly, Li argues that CSA findings are mediated through a victimological labelling process, which creates the potential for a ‘self-fulfilling potential’ of iatrogenesis, or induced symptoms created by the medical profession, whereby respondents construe their experiences in a particular way (often negatively) after participating in CSA research (p. 177-178).''<ref>Richard Yuill, ‘A Critical Analysis of Subjectivist-Based Theorising and Research on Male Intergenerational Sexualities’, (published online as HTML: date unspecified), available at: <http://web.archive.org/web/20201021161456/http://williamapercy.com/wiki/index.php?title=A_Critical_Analysis_of_Subjectivist-Based_Theorising_and_Research_on_Male_Intergenerational_Sexualities></ref>

Based on this community sample, Li also contributed to the famous scholarly compendium on "Intergenerational Intimacy" (1991), published as a special issue in the [[Journal of Homosexuality]],<ref>[https://www.tandfonline.com/toc/wjhm20/20/1-2 "Intergenerational Intimacy" (1991) special issue].</ref> with guest editors [[Theo Sandfort]], [[Edward Brongersma]], and [[Alex Van Naerssen]], and a foreword by [[Gunter Schmidt]]. Li's article is titled ''"The Main Thing Is Being Wanted": Some Case Studies on Adult Sexual Experiences with Children'', as can be read easily online.<ref>Chin-Keung Li, "The Main Thing Is Being Wanted": Some Case Studies on Adult Sexual Experiences with Children’, in ''Journal of Homosexuality'', 20:1-2, (1991) 129-143.
