Child Abuse and Trauma Sexual Assault and Victimization Studies Child Therapy and Development

Abstract

Effects of child sexual abuse are conceptualized as the result of conditioned anxiety and as socially learned responses to the victimization experience. This conceptualization is used to link existing psychological theory and research to therapeutic interventions. Strategies are proposed to alleviate anxiety, modify maladaptive beliefs and cognitions, restore or instate expectations of self-efficacy, and mitigate disturbed sexual attitudes or behaviors.
