"Sexual abuse in childhood contributes to a number of problems later in life, and research shows that human development is affected by abuse in a number of detrimental ways. Among the problems are the fact that those abused as children tend to become abusers themselves. Various psychological problems also derive from sexual abuse in childhood.
Sexual abuse is defined in terms of a variety of actions involving contact and noncontact maltreatment. Contact abuse is sexual contact with a youngster, with examples including molestation with genital contact, fondling, intercourse, oral or anal sex, and object intrusion. Noncontact abuse includes coercing the child to watch pornographic films or pictures, to observe sexual intercourse, to perform sexual activities, and to ..."

"EFFECTS OF CHILDHOOD SEXUAL ABUSE ON FEMALE & MALE ADULTS
I. INTRODUCTION
Statement of the Problem
Childhood sexual abuse continues to be prevalent and prevention or intervention efforts are considered a failure ("Child," 1999; Gelles, 1998). Childhood sexual abuse results in effects that continue into adulthood. Relationships between this sexual abuse and adult problems such as depression, anxiety, drug abuse, attempted suicide, and psychiatric disorders, have been found (McCauley, Kern, Kolodner, Dill, Schroeder, DeChant, Ryden, Derogatis, & Bass, 1997). Studies of the effects of childhood sexual abuse on women are more prevalent than those regarding male victims. Those regarding male victims tend to focus on sexual identity issues (Ferren, 1998). Effects of this abuse on ..."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at sexual abuse. According to the paper, studies have suggested that one in three girls in the United States will experience some form of sexual abuse by the age of eighteen. The paper discusses how the aftermath of childhood sexual abuse can lead to mental illness, binge eating disorders and substance abuse.
From the Paper
"Another self-harm behavior also frequently found in adult survivors of CSA is substance abuse. Often survivors will turn to alcohol or drugs as a way to escape the emotional pain or trauma associated with the abuse they suffered as a child. The survivor looks at their substance use as a way to control their feelings over the abuse. They feel an actual sense of control over the situation. In all actuality, as seen with self-mutilation, it is only a false sense of empowerment felt and is actually another form of revictimization (Slater et al., 2003)."
"Once involved with drugs or alcohol as a coping mechanism, life for a survivor can quickly spin out of control. Becoming dependent on alcohol or drugs is dangerous for anyone, but for victims of CSA the risk is even greater due to the false sense of empowerment that they gain. By engulfing themselves in substance abuse, they can create a fantasy world of safety, security, and control in their life (Slater et al., 2003)."

"Sexual abuse of children has been reported 80,000 times a year and the numbers of unreported cases is considered to be even greater. The long-term effects of this abuse are far reaching and devastating. The abuse may take place in various situations, to include within the family, in a school, at a neighbors, or with a random molester. Children are not in a position to cope with sexual stimulation or the psychological ramifications involved with the interaction. The child may care for the abuser and become trapped between the need for that person and the need to be rid of the abuse. These children develop a loss of self-esteem with feelings of worthlessness and they become withdrawn, mistrustful, and have an abnormal sexual perspective."

Abstract
The early childhood years are universally recognized as being a critically important developmental period for human beings, and when normal patterns of parental caregiving and nurturing are disrupted or when children experience abuse at the hands of others, the consequences can be profound, pervasive and even life-threatening. This literature review examines the relationship between childhood sexual abuse, dissociation and self-destructive behavior. The studies are grouped according to those studies concerning childhood sexual abuse and dissociation, those that concern childhood sexual abuse and various self-destructive behaviors, and those that investigate the relationship between all three factors.

Introduction
Studies Concerning Childhood Sexual Abuse and Dissociation
Studies Concerning Childhood Sexual Abuse and Self-Destructive Behaviors

"When families experience the trauma of sexual abuse, the processes by which these multiple and competing reactions on the part of the parent and the child tend to interfere with the normal processes that provide families with the means to achieve healthy functioning following such episodes of abuse. In this regard, Silberg (2004) reports that when children are sexually abused, there will be a natural tendency to engage in a number of emotional responses that may compete for primacy, including a desire for secrecy, individual victimization memories and sexual experiences, and confused and mixed emotions in the child and the parent. According to this researcher, "This is likely to be the case whether the conflicting feelings are a result of abuse within the family or from maltreatment by an individual outside of the family. In either case, these competing processes lead to dissociative manifestations, forgetting, and inability to make adequate meaning out of the feelings, perceptions, and ideas stimulated by the sexual abuse" (Silberg, 2004, p. 490).

Abstract
This paper explains that the effects of childhood sexual abuse are legion including physical, social, emotional, and sexual malfunctions. The paper points out that there are psychological indicators that may include complaints about abuse, intricate stories/games/fantasies or questions involving sexual abuse, and drawings depicting abuse, sexual organs, or sexual situations between adults and children. The author believes that a qualified psychologist or psychiatrist can not only help ease the pain of the abuse and help prepare the child for testimony, but also can provide evidence to help with an ongoing criminal or civil court case.
From the Paper
"Investigators, whether in the police or elsewhere, should always be careful not to ask leading questions or try to force the child into a certain interpretation of events. Children are easily intimidated, especially when they have been abused by adults, and can be forced to change their stories if subjected to harsh interrogation. Questions ought not be in the form of a suggestive narrative (such as ?tell me about the time he touched your privates.? when no such reference has been made so far), as children may believe that they are being invited to engage in a game of make-believe or even feel that they are required to tell a story to make the interviewer happy. Open ended questions are far better. ?Has anyone ever touched you in a way you didn?t like?? followed by ?Who?? and ?What happened?? is far more productive."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that living with a chronic mental illness or problem can be exceedingly difficult, and those that struggle with dissociation often experience many of the same problems. The writer points out that the basic assumptions of the psychiatric model are inconsistent with nursing practice, and therefore nurses who are asked to treat those who have chronic mental, behavioral, or emotional problems often have a great deal of difficulty adjusting their feelings and beliefs about what the patient should be treated for to fit in with the guidelines proposed by this model, which can cause disagreements and issues between doctors, patients, and families. A critique of the psychiatric medical model shows that this particular model views emotional problems that stem from abuse and other issues as though they were diseases. The writer then provides a review of related literature and looks at various related assumptions in this regard.

Bibliography
From the Paper
"Because the diagnostic tests for mental and emotional issues are so rigid and strict, the whole person is not examined. The lack of flexibility creates a restricted view of the individual who has come to seek help, and the process of giving patients these diagnostic tests becomes not one of helping them, but rather of classifying them into a specific category. While it is acknowledged that it is important to attempt to find what is 'wrong' with these individuals in order to treat them in the most appropriate way, individuals must be studied and classified on an individual basis. No two people who act the same way are exactly alike, and the diagnostic tests make it far too easy to assign someone to a category without really understanding the depth and nature of their problems."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that childhood sexual abuse (CSA) is one of the most traumatic and devastating crimes in society today. The writer maintains that although the intensity of its effects may diminish as a survivor works through the recovery process, the long-term effects of CSA may last forever and leave an impression on many aspects of a survivor's life. The writer points out that there are several psychological disorders linked to CSA and multitudes of different therapies and treatments for the effects felt by survivors. The writer concludes that hopefully, with direction, survivors of abuse can be led to a professional who will be able to help them manage their past issues, so as to help them function effectively in the present.
From the Paper
"Studies have suggested that one in three girls in the United States will experience some form of sexual abuse by the age of eighteen. The effects of this abuse will be long-term and all encompassing. Often times the aftermath of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) can lead to mental illness, binge eating disorders, and/or substance abuse. Once mental illness strikes in the life of CSA survivors, they must find ways to seek help out in the community, whether that is individual or group therapy or alternative forms of therapy. Although both males and females can be victims and perpetrators of CSA, for the purposes of this paper, victims will be referred to as female and perpetrators will be referred to as male, as is most often the case."

" Introduction
Papalia and Olds (1992) report that in the United States two million children per year are abused and neglected and that a substantial portion of these children are victims of sexual abused or incest. One way in which many young people respond to childhood sexual abuse/incest is by running away from home. The purpose of this paper is to examine a sampling of the current literature (studies conducted from 1990 to 1993) for connections between childhood sexual abuse and youth runaway behavior.
Childhood Sexual Abuse & Youth Runaway Behavior
As just noted, one finding that has been repeatedly observed in the childhood sexual abuse and runaway literature is that sexually abused children often runaway from home as teens. This can be seen in a study conducted by Feitel, Margetson, Chamas and.."

From the Paper
"Physical and sexual abuse of children are well recognized by the medical and legal systems but there have been difficulties in addressing the verbal abuse of children. Hamarman and Bernet positioned verbal abuse within the general context of emotional and or psychological abuse and noted that these forms of abuse distort the processes of attachment and affective development and can impair the capacity of a child to develop appropriate emotional responses. In this report a selection of scholarly journals addressing aspects of childhood verbal.
