註釋"Sexual abuse in childhood is a disturbingly common experience that has the capacity to wreak havoc in terms of a child's developing sense of self ... Much has been written and is now understood about this negative sequale of childhood sexual assault (CSA), yet very little research has focussed on understanding the processes by which a person who has experienced CSA may come to a place of peace. Hence, this body of research sought to understand the ways in which men and women found healing from their experiences of CSA, as well as to determine if there are positive changes a person can perceive to have occurred through their struggle to negotiate the impacts of experiencing this crime. Twenty-eight women and thirteen men shared their stories of the impacts of the abuse over the course of their lives, and the journey they undertook to come to a place of self-proclaimed healing. Participants detailed what they found to be the most important contributors to their experience of healing and wellbeing ... The research provided an original contribution to the literature by providing 1) a model of the dynamics of CSA and subsequent impacts; 2) a process model of healing which both encapsulates and extends current research; 3) evidence of differences and similarities in the healing process for men and women; 4) posttraumatic growth outcomes for this population; and 5) practical ways in which a clinician may best assist a person who has experienced CSA to come to a place of healing."--Author abstract.
