Childhood Sexual Abuse and Couples' Relationships: Female Survivors' Reports in Therapy Groups.

Pistorello, Jacqueline; Follette, Victoria M.

Journal of Marital and Family Therapy, v24 n4 p473-85 Oct 1998

Analysis of female child sexual abuse (CSA) survivors showed relationship themes. The two most frequent were difficulties with emotional communication or intimacy and polarized positions on control. Whereas these themes were correlated with survivors' CSA characteristics, sexual difficulties were correlated with survivors' level of current traumatic symptomology. (Author/MKA)
