TY - JOUR PY - 2002// TI - Effects of posttraumatic stress disorder and child sexual abuse on self-efficacy development JO - American journal of orthopsychiatry A1 - Diehl, Amy S. A1 - Prout, Maurice F. SP - 262 EP - 265 VL - 72 IS - 2 N2 - The symptoms of child sexual abuse and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) affect a child's self-efficacy. A child's self-efficacy beliefs impact the course and treatment of PTSD, because perceived self-efficacy plays a mediating role in children's ability to cope with trauma. Self-efficacy research indicates that emotional competence can be learned and may provide treatment for PTSD that provides symptom reduction as well as a means of substituting problem-solving coping skills for emotion-focused coping skills.
