Abstrakt: Social workers in the field of family and children services often face the compelling task of working with victims of Child Sexual Abuse (CSA) and their families. This topic has generated the need for research investigating the effects of CSA on victims as well as treatment and interventions techniques effective in eliminating CSA-related symptomatology. Although relatively little treatment outcome research has been conducted regarding the effectiveness of psychosocial treatments for CSA-victims, behavioral and cognitive behavioral interventions have some limited but positive evidence regarding their use in reducing the deviant symptoms and behaviors associated with CSA. We review the existing published studies evaluating behavioral and cognitive behavioral therapies for female victims of childhood sexual abuse, and provide suggestions for future research in this area.
