The challenge of defining child Sexual Abuse.
American Psychologist, 2000Co-Authors: Jeffrey J. HaugaardAbstract:Although child Sexual Abuse has been a concern for many researchers, therapists, and advocates for the past 3 decades, several fundamental issues regarding child Sexual Abuse remain unresolved. In particular, the term child Sexual Abuse has never been unequivocally defined. The lack of a commonly accepted definition of child Sexual Abuse continues to inhibit research, treatment, and advocacy efforts. Early researchers used broad and inclusive definitions of child Sexual Abuse--definitions that often continue to be used today. The consequences of these definitions are discussed, and strategies for developing other definitions of child Sexual Abuse are suggested. Language: en

Child Sexual Abuse.
Current Opinion in Obstetrics & Gynecology, 1993Co-Authors: David MuramAbstract:Child Sexual Abuse is being recognized as a common and serious problem which affects children regardless of their age, sex, socio-economic class, or geographic location. Children of all ages, from infancy to young adulthood, have been victims of Abuse. It is well accepted that the number of reported incidents of child Sexual Abuse represents only a portion of the actual number of victims. The National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect estimates the number of child-victims to be more than 200,000 per year. Many of these children are brought to emergency facilities or to their private physician's office for evaluation. Many physicians have difficulties in correctly identifying and managing child-victims of Sexual Abuse. The purpose of this chapter is to review the most recent advances in the medical evaluation of children who are the victims of Sexual Abuse. Language: en

Patterns of child Sexual Abuse knowledge among professionals
Child Abuse & Neglect, 2002Co-Authors: Roberta A. Hibbard, Terrell W. ZollingerAbstract:Abstract To better understand knowledge and perceptions of child Sexual Abuse, a survey was conducted of 902 professionals attending child Sexual Abuse educational programs during 1986–1987. About half (50.8%) of the group reported seeing at least two child Sexual Abuse cases a month, while 20.5% reported seeing five or more. Almost half (48.9%) of the respondents reported previous formal training regarding child Sexual Abuse. Professionals were generally knowledgeable about child Sexual Abuse; however, at least 20% of the professionals were not knowledgeable about some items that are important in the identification of child Sexual Abuse and that might hamper the legal and medical investigation of a case. Those with formal training, more years of professional practice, and who see five or more victims per month answered more questions correctly, but the differences were not always statistically significant. Further training for both medical and non-medical professionals is needed to ensure appropriate care of child Sexual Abuse victims and to improve communication and coordination of efforts between professions.

Working Sensitively with Child Sexual Abuse Survivors: What Female Child Sexual Abuse Survivors Want from Health Professionals
Women & Health, 2010Co-Authors: Kim Mcgregor, Jeny Gautam, Marewa Glover, Shirley JülichAbstract:Adult survivors of child Sexual Abuse are high users of health and mental health services. Health professionals are well placed to improve health outcomes for them by delivering positive interventions post-Abuse. The current study explored female child Sexual Abuse survivors' opinions on how health professionals could work better with child Sexual Abuse survivors. Sixty-one women, from 22–65 years old, who had been Sexually Abused before the age of 16 years, completed postal questionnaires in late 2004. A model was developed to guide the development of knowledge, skills, and practices for working more sensitively with child Sexual Abuse survivors. The model consisted of six chronological training steps: (1) knowledge on effects of child Sexual Abuse; (2) establishing the relationship with child Sexual Abuse survivors; (3) asking about child Sexual Abuse; (4) responding to disclosure; (5) sensitive provision of medical examinations; and (6) follow-up post examination. A systematic approach to training is p...

Health professionals' responses to disclosure of child Sexual Abuse history: female child Sexual Abuse survivors' experiences
Journal of Child Sexual Abuse, 2010Co-Authors: Kim Mcgregor, Shirley Jülich, Marewa Glover, Jeny GautamAbstract:This study reports on a postal questionnaire, conducted in 2004, with female survivors of historic child Sexual Abuse. The questionnaire explored their experiences of health professionals' responsiveness to disclosure of child Sexual Abuse history. Of 61 participants, aged between 22 and 65, 69% had disclosed to health professionals. Those who had not disclosed reported that they would have liked to but were not asked about child Sexual Abuse. Thirty-five percent of participants suggested routine questioning about child Sexual Abuse. Most participants related a fear of common medical examination procedures to their experience of child Sexual Abuse, and 64% said this stopped them from attending regular health checks. The current study suggests the development of guidelines for dealing with possible child Sexual Abuse survivors would be useful for health professionals.

Stockholm syndrome and child Sexual Abuse.
Journal of Child Sexual Abuse, 2005Co-Authors: Shirley JülichAbstract:ABSTRACT This article, based on an analysis of unstructured interviews, identifies that the emotional bond between survivors of child Sexual Abuse and the people who perpetrated the Abuse against them is similar to that of the powerful bi-directional relationship central to Stockholm Syndrome as described by Graham (1994). Aspects of Stockholm Syndrome could be identified in the responses of adult survivors of child Sexual Abuse, which appeared to impact on their ability to criminally report offenders. An emotional bond, which has enabled the Sexual Abuse of children, has served to protect the offender long after the Abuse has ceased. The implications of Stockholm Syndrome could offer valuable insights to those working in the field of child Sexual Abuse.
