abstract="Among 115 women referred to a regional psychotherapy unit, childhood sexual abuse was reported at the referral or assessment stage by 19, and referred to covertly by 5. A significant number of cases must remain undetected. For the purpose of this study, sexual abuse includes any form of sexual activity between a female child and a familiar adult or young person older than her, which was perceived by the subject to be of a sexual nature and distressing to her. The symptoms in adulthood have been described as similar to those of Borderline Personality Disorder. Development, treatment and implications are discussed.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
