- Summary:
- This book examines the effect of child sexual abuse (CSA) on adult sexual health outcomes in men and women. An emerging body of literature suggests that children who experience sexual violence may be vulnerable to many negative reproductive and sexual health problems as adults. These problems include unwanted pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, HIV infection, and adult sexual violence. Researchers and clinicians integrate research from a variety of disciplines, including epidemiology, traumatology, and prevention science, to bridge the current scientific literatures on CSA, basic trauma research, and clinical practice. Chapters identify the theory and research-based cognitive, affective, social, and behavioral consequences of trauma that influence sexual risk behavior in adulthood. The volume also highlights new approaches that begin to translate these findings into interventions for people who have experienced CSA. This resource delineates an original program of research that will help set a new course for study and treatment in the field. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2005 APA, all rights reserved)
