There is sparse systematic examination of the potential for growth as well as distress that may occur for some adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse. The presented study explored posttraumatic growth and its relationship with negative posttrauma outcomes within the specific population of survivors of childhood sexual abuse (N = 40). Results showed that 95% of the participants experienced clinically significant post-traumatic stress disorder symptomatology related to their childhood sexual abuse. In conjunction with these high levels of negative symptoms, the population evidenced posttraumatic growth levels that were comparable to other trauma samples. This research has clinical relevance in terms of adding to the knowledge base on sexual abuse and the usefulness of this knowledge in therapeutic interventions and relationships.
对于一些童年期遭受性虐待的成年幸存者可能出现的成长潜力以及困扰，目前缺乏系统的研究。本研究探讨了童年期遭受性虐待的特定幸存者群体（N = 40）中的创伤后成长及其与创伤后负面结果的关系。结果显示，95%的参与者经历了与童年期性虐待相关的具有临床意义的创伤后应激障碍症状。在这些高水平负面症状的同时，该群体的创伤后成长水平与其他创伤样本相当。这项研究在增加性虐待知识基础以及该知识在治疗干预和关系中的实用性方面具有临床意义。
