“…Understanding the most common theories can help underscore where more research may be needed and what theories researchers might want to expand on in their future work. Attachment theory is the most commonly cited by studies qualitative literature on this topic (Bellhouse, 2013; Coles, 2006; Fisher, 2000; Harris, 2008; Hooper & Koprowska, 2004; Koren-Karie et al, 2004; Kreklewetz, 1995; Lasiuk, 2007; Lev-Wiesel, 2006; McCoy, 2014; McMillan, 2013; O’Brien, 1998; Palmer, 2004; J.

Parenting Among Mothers Who Experienced Child Sexual Abuse: A Qualitative Systematic Review

2019

Child sexual abuse (CSA) represents a significant public health problem. While CSA is associated with several adverse outcomes, recent attention has been given to its effect on maternal parenting. Despite a growing literature on this topic, a comprehensive systematic review has not been conducted. Thus, this review aimed to fill this gap. Several search strategies were used, including searches in academic databases. Two reviewers completed screening, full-text review, data extraction, and quality determinations. Extracted qualitative data were synthesized for the 108 studies meeting inclusion criteria. The primary themes emerging from women’s accounts of the effects of CSA on their current parenting included abuse of child, breastfeeding, child-rearing practices, coping related to parenting, mother–child relationship, perceptions of child, perceptions of motherhood, and protection of children from abuse. Given the current lack of interventions designed for these mothers, the results of this review may aid in the development of evidence-based interventions.

“…The mechanism by which this occurs is unclear. However, one possibility is that this cycle of abuse occurs because CSA survivors lack incentive and strength to care for their own children (Hooper & Koprowska, 2004). The literature also suggests that CSA survivors may provide distant care or neglect that might leave their children vulnerable to abuse (Mian, Marton, Lebaron, & Birtwhistle, 1994).…”

“…Childhood sexual abuse survivors are more likely to adopt a permissive than an authoritative parenting style. This is noteworthy as it is the latter style that shows better outcomes on children overall (Hooper & Koprowska, 2004). According to DiLillo and Damashek (2003), some CSA survivors do not impose authority to their children because they remember the negative experiences that they had being victims of abuse.…”

Childhood abuse has been associated with a broad range of problems in adulthood, including disruptions in parent-child relationships. The majority of research has focused on the effects of childhood sexual abuse on mothers, but it is also important to better understand the effects of childhood abuse on fathers. The current study examined the effect of various forms of childhood abuse on parent-child conflict and relationship quality using the recent replication of the National Comorbidity Survey (NCS-R). The NCS-R is a nationwide household survey of 9,282 participants that included an assessment of the presence/absence of four forms of childhood abuse: physical abuse, rape, sexual molestation, and witnessing physical violence at home. In addition, victims of childhood abuse were asked to rate the level of conflict and the quality of relationships they have with their children. A series of 2(sex) X 2(exposure) MANOVAs were conducted with relationship quality and relationship conflict as dependent variables. A similar pattern of findings emerged across abuse type. Mothers with a history of childhood abuse reported more conflict with their own children than fathers but a better overall relationship. This study did not support the hypotheses that the effects of childhood abuse are similar for both males and females. Fathers with childhood abuse history may be more likely not to participate in their children's lives.

“…how psychological and social change takes place within a therapeutic relationship? There is some evidence that clients also feel shortchanged when brief therapy is the only service option on offer (Hooper & Koprowska, 2004). However, the long-haul therapeutic journey is now considered to be an activity that lacks a proper evidence base and is castigated for being too costly, and an inefficient use of scarce resources.…”
