Abstract

Childhood sexual abuse is a prevalent and important social problem. In this article the authors' main objective is the exploration of resilience among sexually abused adolescents under child protection services care in Quebec, Canada. The introduction provides an overview of the impact of childhood sexual abuse and conceptualizations of trauma, resilience, recovery, and factors linked to resilience profiles. The remainder of the article discusses a study of resilience and factors predicting resilience over a 5-month period for a sample of 86 teenage girls under child protection services care.
