2019, Child Abuse and NeglectCitation Excerpt :It is important for interpretation to note that Factor 2 was most strongly correlated with endorsements of sexual abuse (Pett, Lackey, & Sullivan, 2003). The literature has drawn attention to the uniqueness of childhood sexual abuse as marked by feelings of shame, stigma, powerlessness, and boundary violations in a way that is different than other forms of maltreatment (Noll, 2008). This conceptual distinctness is supported by recent empirical findings that sexual abuse has a more significant impact on mental health than non-sexual maltreatment (Fergusson, McLeod, & Horwood, 2013; Lewis, McElroy, Harlaar, & Runyan, 2016).
Perinatal interventions for mothers and fathers who are survivors of childhood sexual abuse
2018, Child Abuse and NeglectCitation Excerpt :Yet the long-term impact of CSA in males can be as severe as in females (Banyard et al., 2004; Dube et al., 2005; Young et al., 2007). None the less, for both genders, the consequences of CSA may not manifest until salient triggers are experienced during periods of stress and transition (Noll, 2008). Pregnancy represents a vulnerable time for both parents with a considerable number of women and men reporting depression and distress (Howard et al., 2018; Philpott et al., 2017; Ramchandani et al., 2008; Van den Bergh et al., 2005).
