dc.description.abstract | The sexual victimization of children and adults is a serious social concern with severe mental health and emotional sequelae. Victims of sexual assault are at risk for developing severe depression and anxiety, difficulties in sexual functioning and intimate relationships, substance abuse, and suicidal ideation among other concerns. Child victims of sexual abuse are at marked risk for developing similar mental health symptoms following the abuse and this can extend into their adult years. As such, it is important to develop effective assessment and treatment interventions to address these offenders. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved) | |
