“…Together, these results highlight the importance of focusing on the prevention of new‐onset SLEs among individuals with PTSD. Some interventions, such as assertiveness and risk‐recognition trainings, have shown efficacy in preventing revictimization from traumas like sexual assault (Hill, Vernig, Lee, Brown, & Orsillo, ; Marx, Calhoun, Wilson, & Meyerson, ) and domestic abuse (Mears, ). Other interventions focused on managing daily stressors, such as anger management, present‐centered therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy (Linehan, ), may also prove useful in reducing exposure to common SLEs.…”

Longitudinal studies have demonstrated transactional associations between psychopathology and stressful life events (SLEs), such that psychopathology predicts the occurrence of new SLEs, and SLEs in turn predict increasing symptom severity. The association between posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), specifically, and stress generation remains unclear. This study used temporally sequenced data from 116 veterans (87.9% male) to examine whether PTSD symptoms predicted new onset SLEs, and if these SLEs were associated with subsequent PTSD severity. The SLEs were objectively rated, using a clinician-administered interview and consensus-rating approach, to assess the severity, frequency, and personal dependence (i.e., if the event was due to factors that were independent of or dependent on the individual) of new-onset SLEs. A series of mediation models were tested, and results provided evidence for moderated mediation whereby baseline PTSD severity robustly predicted personally dependent SLEs, B = 0.03, p = .006, and dependent SLEs predicted increases in follow-up PTSD symptom severity, B = -0.04, p = .003, among participants with relatively lower baseline PTSD severity. After we controlled for baseline PTSD severity, personality traits marked by low constraint (i.e., high impulsivity) were also associated with an increased number of dependent SLEs. Our results provide evidence for a stress-generative role of PTSD and highlight the importance of developing interventions aimed at reducing the occurrence of personally dependent stressors.

“…Recruitment locations were diverse, including a sample exclusively from the community (Kelly & Garland, 2016), a sample from the community and/or university , from university (Hill et al, 2011) and from clinical or psychiatric treatment services (Kimbrough et al, 2010;Brotto et al, 2012;Earley et al, 2014;Goldsmith et al, 2014;Gallegos et al, 2015;Ghahari et al, 2017). Most of the studies used small samples, with a variation in the number of participants from a minimum of nine to a maximum of 71 (SD = 19.6).…”

“…The randomized clinical trials used different comparative groups. Two studies used waiting lists as control groups (Ghahari et al, 2017;Kelly & Garland, 2016), another two studies used different types of comparative intervention, such as Cognitive Behavioral Treatment (Brotto et al, 2012) and the Analytical Approach , and in two studies the authors did not use any comparative intervention (Hill et al, 2011;.…”

Introduction: Sexual violence against children and adolescents in Brazil is an underreported public health problem. Knowing the profile of the victims and the factors related to each case is a strategy for the development of more effective public policies.Objective: To describe the profile of children and adolescent victims of libidinous act, characteristics of aggression and aggressors, consequences for victims, and legal actions related to sexual abuse.Methods: This is a descriptive study. Sociodemographic characteristics of the victims, characteristics of the aggressors and aggression, and clinical, psychological, and legal aspects of 61 sexually abused patients admitted to the specialized outpatient clinic of the Network of Health for Violence and Sexual Abuse located in Santo André, São Paulo State, Brazil, were analyzed.Results: Victims had a mean age of 10.4 years, female (60.7%, n= 37), white (70.5%, n= 43), and admitted to the care network after of 72 hours of having been a victim of abuse (68.3%, n = 40). Most of the aggressions were by a libidinous act (65.6%, n = 40) and by an individual known by the victim (72.1%, n= 44). As a result of libidinous act, the children had a change in family composition (42.6%, n = 26), cognitive disturbances (34.4%, n= 21), emotional disturbances (83.6%, n= 51), and behavioral disorders (54.1%, n= 33). Two-thirds of the cases resulted in a police investigation, only 20% of the offenders were convicted. Conclusion:Girls suffer sexual abuse where the perpetrator is known and close to the family; they delay seeking health services and can present mental disorders related to those abuses, but the perpetrators remain unpunished in most cases. Sexual violence against children and adolescents is a global public health problem, especially in low and middle income countries, where cases remain largely hidden. Less than 10% of cases reach the health system and the police due to the so-called "silence pact" Keywords1 . This pact of silence is where victims of sexual assault and those responsible are aware of the violence, but for various reasons, they prefer to not to report it. This challenge becomes greater in relation to sexual and domestic violence, where it is more present and associated with feelings of fear and prejudice.In children and adolescents, sexual violence has short-and long-term consequences for health. The victims may present physical sequelae (unwanted pregnancies, sexually transmitted diseases, and other injuries in general), psychological (cognitive, emotional, and behavioral dysfunction) 2,3 and social (school dropout, family dysfunction, child prostitution) 4 with a higher incidence of revictimization during adolescence and/or in adulthood 5 . In recent decades, recognition of this problem and its hidden nature has resulted in intersectoral mobilization focused on early diagnosis, treatment, and prevention strategies [6][7][8][9][10][11] . The data collected through RESAVAS are essential to determine the magnitude and nature of violence, the profile...
