“…Contrary to the results by Lucenko et al (2000), Ketring and Feinauer (1999), in a study of 475 adult victims, found that those victims abused by a father figure reported greater trauma symptomatology than those abused by other family members and non-family members. Further, those victims of abuse by other family members reported more trauma symptoms than victims of abuse by strangers.…”

“…Results did not support the hypothesis that the closer the victim felt to the perpetrator, the greater the severity of outcome. Regardless of the perceived quality of the relationship to the perpetrator, those victims abused by a father or father figure reported greater trauma symptomatology (Ketring & Feinauer, 1999). Aside from the obvious ramifications of utilizing the retrospective report of the quality of a relationship prior to the experience of abuse, the respondents were only asked one question regarding their feelings toward the perpetrator prior to the abuse.…”

of personal, familial, and abuse-specific factors with outcome following childhood sexual abuse" (2010). Faculty Publications, Department of Psychology. 550. http://digitalcommons.unl.edu/psychfacpub/550 C hildhood sexual abuse (CSA) has become one of the most widely researched areas in child psychology in recent years. The public has also been made more aware of CSA and possible effects of sexual abuse through efforts from advocacy groups as well as the use of research data in recent political legislation and popular press reports. Recent reports have placed the number of identified CSA victims at 56,460 children during the year 2007 in the United States (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration on Children, Youth, and Families, 2009). Research estimates of prevalence of CSA range from 27% to 32% for females and 13% to 16% for males experiencing sexual abuse before adulthood (Berliner & Elliot, 1996

“…The relationship to the victim showed no clear pattern, but with univariate linear regression, there was evidence that the perpetrator being a stranger was more traumatic (p=0.040) and being an authority figure, a caretaker, or a friend of a parent was associated with both more trauma (p=0.010) and more somatic complaints (p=0.004) than other relationships (acquaintance, friend, cousin, aunt, uncle, grandparent, sibling, step-sibling, parent, step-parent, and foster parent). Because this was inconsistent with past studies, we did not include this factor in the SASS (Kallstrom-Fuqua, Weston, & Marshall, 2004;Ketring & Feinauer, 1999) Table 3 shows the factors and their frequency for the entire cohort and by gender. Male victims were significantly more likely to have been abused at some point by a female perpetrator than were female victims (36% v. 4%, p<0.001) and female victims were significantly more likely to have been abused by a male perpetrator than were male victims (98% v. 71%, p<0.001).…”

“…force during victimization or completed intercourse is also connected with more symptomatology (Briere & Runtz, 1988;Dube et al, 2005;Friedrich, Whiteside, & Talley, 2004;Ketring & Feinauer, 1999). Negative long-term outcomes are present in victims regardless of the gender of the perpetrator (Dube et al, 2005;Friedrich et al, 2004).…”

“…Negative long-term outcomes are present in victims regardless of the gender of the perpetrator (Dube et al, 2005;Friedrich et al, 2004). Abuse by a father figure as compared with an acquaintance or other family member and early age of victimization are related to poor adjustment (Casey & Nurius, 2005;Ketring & Feinauer, 1999). The current study examines factors related to CSA that have been shown to affect physical and mental health in adults and quantifies their association with somatization, trauma symptomatology, and alcohol abuse behaviors among a community sample of adults who have experienced CSA.…”

Childhood sexual abuse (CSA) is common and is associated with both mental and physical health problems in adulthood. Using data from an age and sex-stratified population survey of Olmsted County, MN residents (n=610), we developed a sexual abuse severity score (SASS). The abuse characteristics of 156 CSA respondents were associated with self-reported trauma, somatization, and alcohol use. Characteristics included: age of first sexual abuse, more than one perpetrator, degree of coercion, severity of abuse (i.e. attempted intercourse is more severe than fondling), and the number of occurrences. This is one of the few reports to develop a risk summary that quantifies the severity of childhood sexual abuse.

Child Sexual Abuse Evaluations

Accurate estimates of true and false child sexual abuse evades researchers and the determination of whether sexual abuse has occurred is a complex problem. In recent years, the research community has been polarized over whether child victims of sexual abuse or nonabuse are grossly misidentified, to what degree children are suggestible, and whether false positive or false negative errors create the greatest harm. This chapter describes the scientific‐practitioner model for evaluating allegations of child sexual abuse, a model previously proposed by the author. According to this model, conclusions regarding child sexual abuse are based upon empirically established relationships between data and the behavior in question, rather than on subjective opinions. To address critical issues in these assessments, this chapter reviews two sources for information: published research and the law. Child sexual abuse is defined, focusing on risk factors for abuse and the meaning of symptoms. Studies citing the incidence and prevalence of child sexual abuse are reviewed. Topics include early memories, the impact of stress on memory, and the development of autobiographical memory. Since recall is subjected to the effects of suggestibility, research on this topic is considered. The structure of the assessment interview and a review of the research on the three most frequently used evaluation tools (anatomical dolls, projective instruments, and drawings) is described.
