“…Such investigations will require the use of extensive interview tools that assess detailed characteristics of abuse (e.g., Gold, Hughes, & Swingle, 1996) and HIV risk behavior (e.g., Malow et al, 2001).…”

This article presents a review of literature and concepts linking child sexual abuse history and HIV risk behavior. Correlates of both CSA and HIV risk are reviewed and a proposed model of association is presented. Much of the research on this topic to date is theoretical or correlational in design. Complex and rigorous research designs allowing for further exploration of mediating and moderating variables are warranted to establish the nature of these relationships. Clinical implications include the need to assess: (1) abuse history among high-risk populations and (2) HIV risk behavior among CSA and other trauma survivors.

“…The tendency for CSA to covary with disturbed family backgrounds, other forms of abuse, victim's characteristics, coping strategies, social support, and experiences before or after the abuse creates profound difficulties when it comes to interpreting correlational studies [28,32,54,84,85]. Perpetrator characteristics, circumstances leading to abuse cessation, and the dependency in the relationship between the victim and the offender might as well act on long-term sequelae of CSA [84,86]. These cofactors in the transmission of long-term sequelae of abuse on pregnancy, childbirth, and the early postnatal period have not been investigated yet.…”

“…The modal CSA reported by survivors in the general population is a single incident of molestation by an individual perpetrator that does not involve penetration (Briere & Runtz, 1988;Finkelhor, Hotaling, Lewis, & Smith, 1990). In marked contrast, the average CSA survivor from a clinical sample discloses numerous incidents of sexual assault that include penetration, that persist over a period of several years, and that are committed by several perpetrators acting independently (Gold, Hughes, & Swingle, 1996). These findings dramatically reflect a level of CSA among survivors recruited from clinical settings of vastly greater duration, extent, and degree of invasiveness than that most often encountered by survivors from the larger community.…”

The controversy regarding delayed recall of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) has deflected> attention from the question of whether memory recovery and other trauma-focused treatment approaches are effective for abuse survivors. More than a decade of clinical experience has convinced many experts that as a primary treatment strategy, this approach often leads to decompensation among CSA survivors. However, few treatment alternatives have been clearly articulated. One such alternative, contextual therapy, is grounded in evidence that many CSA survivors grow up in an interpersonal context that fails to transmit the capacities needed for effective daily functioning. Contextual therapy retains trauma-focused interventions as one component of a broader framework aimed at helping survivors develop adaptive capacities that, rather than having been disrupted by trauma, may never have been attained in the first place. From this perspective, abuse trauma is seen as compounding these deficits, rather than as a sole cause of them.
