TY - JOUR PY - 2015// TI - Child sexual abuse, sexual anxiety, and sexual satisfaction: the role of self-capacities JO - Journal of child sexual abuse A1 - Bigras, NoƩmie A1 - Godbout, Natacha A1 - Briere, John SP - 464 EP - 483 VL - 24 IS - 5 N2 - Research indicates that child sexual abuse produces lasting alterations in interpersonal relatedness, identity, and affect regulation, often referred to as self-capacity disturbance. Child sexual abuse also has been shown to negatively impact sexual functioning. This study examined the role of altered self-capacities in mediating the relationship between child sexual abuse and sexual responses. Path analysis revealed that child sexual abuse was related to sexual anxiety and decreased sexual satisfaction through its association with reduced self-awareness and a propensity to be involved in difficult interpersonal relationships.
