Child sexual abuse (CSA) is a phenomenon that is ubiquitous to all cultures and social classes. It has short-and long-term consequences, with specific treatment models that have been developed and adapted from psychological intervention models. A wide variety of studies have sought to evaluate the results of treatments with adult CSA survivors. This study presents an overview of research on the treatment of adult victims of CSA, by reviewing the existing literature on the types of treatment and the most studied psychotherapeutic avenues, and reports the findings related to the efficacy of these treatments. It is possible to conclude that psychological intervention exhibits benefits in the reduction of symptoms resulting from the experience of CSA and demonstrates the need to conduct further research on the effectiveness of intervention.

“…Adults with disabilities are susceptible to a wide array of negative consequences of sexual victimization (e.g., Sequeira, Howlin, & Hollins, 2003). They might experience a heightened sense of powerlessness, stemming from an inability to escape the abuser, and the abuse might be interpreted as punishment for their disability (Monahan & Lurie, 2003). Women with disabilities could exhibit disability-specific symptoms, such as showing acute sensitivity to sexual touch during dressing and bathing (Hassouneh-Phillips & Curry, 2002).…”

“…Women with disabilities could exhibit disability-specific symptoms, such as showing acute sensitivity to sexual touch during dressing and bathing (Hassouneh-Phillips & Curry, 2002). Reporting of the sexual abuse might also be extremely difficult, as adults with disabilities might not be ambulatory or have means of verbal communication (Monahan & Lurie, 2003). Psychopathology, including traumatic stress, depression, and anxiety, are also common reactions to sexual abuse among individuals with learning disabilities (Sequeira et al, 2003).…”

Child abuse, child protection and disabled children: a review of recent research

2010

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This paper reports the results of a scoping study that reviewed research about child abuse, child protection and disabled children published in academic journals between 1996 and 2009. The review was conducted using a five stage method for scoping studies. Several studies have revealed a strong association between disability and child maltreatment, indicating that disabled children are significantly more likely to experience abuse than their non-disabled peers. Those with particular impairments are at increased risk. There is evidence that the interaction of age, gender and/or socio-cultural factors with impairment results in different patterns of abuse to those found among non-disabled children although the reasons for this require further examination. It appears that therapeutic services and criminal justice systems often fail to take account of disabled children's needs and heightened vulnerability. In Britain, little is known about what happens to disabled children who have been abused and how well safeguarding services address their needs. Very few studies have sought disabled children's own accounts of abuse or safeguarding. Considerable development is required, at both policy and practice level, to ensure that disabled children's right to protection is upheld. The paper concludes by identifying a number of aspects of the topic requiring further investigation.
