Abstract

Childhood sexual abuse is now recognized as a common occurrence, and it has been accepted that in a substantial number of cases victims suffer lasting psychological damage. Many such people are now speaking out and seeking help for the first time. They require sensitive assessment and understanding. Psychotherapy may well be helpful in appropriate cases, although studies of outcome are still lacking.
