“…Approximately half of the studies (53%) comprised an all-female sample, with the remaining studies being an all-male sample (Ray, 1997) or a mixed sample ranging from 27% to 90% female participants. The age range across studies varied from 5 to 91 years, with over half the studies being predominantly derived from a child and/or adolescent sample (for example, 5-19 years; N = 30, 51%; Allen & Tarnowski, 1989;Deb & Mukherjee, 2009;Deb et al, 2016;Esparza & Esperat, 1996;German et al, 1990;Kinard, 1980;Mannarino et al, 1994Mannarino et al, , 1989Mannarino et al, , 1991Mennen, 1994;Mernen & Meadow, 1994;Milan & Pinderhughes, 2000;Mota & Matos, 2015;Oates et al, 1985;Oates et al, 1994;Orr & Downes, 1985;Reyes, 2008;Reyes et al, 1996;Riesen & Porath, 2004;Rogosch & Cicchetti, 2005;Runyon et al, 2009;Rust & Troupe, 1991;Silva & Calheiros, 2020;Simmons & Weinman, 1991;Solomon & Serres, 1999;Stern et al, 1995;Stovall & Craig, 1990;Tong et al, 1987;Trickett et al, 2001;Wonderlich et al, 2001); followed by adult samples (for example, 17-91 years; N = 27, 46%; Alexander & Lupfer, 1987;Brayden et al, 1995;Briere & Rickards, 2007;Classen et al, 1998;…”

Research has demonstrated that interpersonal trauma can have deleterious effects on functioning, including disrupting the development and stability of an individual's self-identity (e.g., self-concept or sense of self). A growing volume of studies have investigated the relation between trauma-related symptoms and self-identity following interpersonal trauma exposure. Hence, it is timely to conduct a review of this literature. The objective of this systematic review was to evaluate the association between interpersonal trauma and self-identity. A final search of the literature was conducted using the EbscoHost, Medline, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and Cochrane databases. The review methodology was based on the PRISMA guidelines, and the risk of bias of individual studies was assessed with the Quality Assessment Tool for Studies of Diverse Design. A total of 59 studies published in peer-reviewed journals met the inclusion criteria for this review. Assessment tools of self-identity were highly variable across the included studies. Despite the differences in measures, overall, interpersonal trauma was found to have a negative impact on self-identity across the life span, which attests to the need to address the issue of altered selfidentity in psychotherapy interventions. Future research should also aim to develop a reliable and valid assessment of self-identity, given the lack of consensus in this field. In addition, there is a notable paucity of prospective, longitudinal studies in this field, which need to be addressed in future research. Moreover, future studies are warranted to evaluate factors that may influence the detrimental impact of interpersonal trauma on self-identity.

“…Professionals working with perpetrators, families, and victims of child sexual abuse (CSA) have identifi ed numerous internal and external factors that inhibit children from disclosing their abuse (Furniss, 1991;Gomes-Schwartz, Horowitz, & Cardarelli, 1990;Sorenson & Snow, 1991;Summit, 1983). Furthermore, the process by which perpetrators gain and maintain their victim's compliance and silence frequently places the child in the role of a coconspirator acting to conceal their own abuse (Berliner & Conte, 1990;Furniss, 1991;German, Habenicht, & Futcher, 1990;Summit, 1983).…”

Self-disclosure by victims of child sexual abuse (CSA) is critical to initiate legal and therapeutic intervention. Unfortunately, research indicates that lengthy delays in disclosure and even nondisclosure are common. A comprehensive review of the clinical and research literature on CSA and an overview of related bodies of literature was conducted. Areas addressed include the context of sexual abuse as it relates to disclosure, the context and elements of children's disclosures, motivational factors inhibiting disclosure, and models of the disclosure process. Ancillary and analogue research on secrecy and disclosure are also reviewed. Implications for future research and practice are discussed.

“…The HSPQ was used to develop a psychological profile of the female victim of incest. Incest victims differed from the normal population in being more relaxed, withdrawn, shy, expedient, apprehensive, dominant, and emotionally stable (German, Habernicht, & Futcher, 1990). No authors have reported using this tool with adolescent sexual offenders.…”
