Research on sexual abuse frequently fails to address the influence of the family as a risk factor for the onset of all kinds of sexual abuse and as a mediator of its long-term effects. Attachment theory provides a useful conceptual framework for understanding the familial antecedents and long-term consequences of sexual abuse. Themes associated with insecure parent-child attachment (rejection, role reversal/parentification, and fear/unresolved trauma) are frequently found in the dynamics of families characterized by sexual abuse, and specific categories of sequelae are related to probable attachment experiences. Implications for intervention and research on sexual abuse are suggested.
关于性虐待的研究常常未能探讨家庭作为各类性虐待发生的风险因素以及作为其长期影响的调节因素所产生的影响。依恋理论为理解性虐待的家庭成因及长期后果提供了一个有用的概念框架。与不安全的亲子依恋相关的主题（拒绝、角色颠倒/父母化以及恐惧/未解决的创伤）在以性虐待为特征的家庭动态中经常出现，并且特定类别的后遗症与可能的依恋经历有关。文中还提出了对性虐待干预和研究的启示。
