Brief Summary:
This study will determine the necessity of including abuse-focused interventions in the treatment of sexually abused children
Detailed Description:
Child sexual abuse is a serious public health problem that places children at high risk for developing anxiety mood conduct sexual and substance abuse disorders It also increases their likelihood of experiencing further victimization It is imperative that abused children are provided with effective interventions to minimize their risk of developing problems that can be disruptive to their psychosocial development Evidence suggests that cognitive behavioral therapy CBT can effectively ameliorate many abuse-related symptoms exhibited by sexually abused children and their parents However it is unknown whether CBT treatment should include gradual exposure GE an intervention that involves the gradual confrontation of abuse-related thoughts and memories with therapist feedback to assist the child in effectively processing the abusive experience Because this component of CBT may be more difficult for children and their parents it is important to determine if and when GE is essential for optimal recovery in abused children
