The topic of sex offenses committed by women has received relatively little attention until recent decades. The scarcity of research in this domain underscores the urgent need for a more comprehensive understanding and effective interventions. Women who committed child sexual abuse (CSA) exhibit a distinct psychological profile compared to men, requiring specific intervention programs. The current systematic review has two aims: the primary aim is to analyze the effectiveness of psychological interventions with women who committed CSA, and the secondary aim is to identify the intervention models and strategies used with them. Six databases were searched for studies examining the effectiveness of psychological interventions. All retrieved papers were excluded after full-text assessments as none met the primary objective. However, eight publications fulfilled the secondary objective of identifying models and strategies that could inform intervention development. The intervention programs presented addressed specific targets focused on criminogenic needs highlighted in the literature as central to this population, as well as targets that complement the intervention according to individual characteristics. Moreover, the studies frequently emphasize an intervention approach centered on individuals' potential (and not just their deficits), employing a gender paradigm to underpin psychological interventions with this population. The results of this review highlight a major gap in the current literature concerning both the delivery and effectiveness assessment of psychological intervention for women who committed CSA. The studies incorporated for the second objective elucidated critical treatment targets and models to inform intervention strategies, which are subsequently discussed in terms of their practical implications.
直到最近几十年，女性实施性犯罪的话题才受到相对较少的关注。该领域研究的匮乏突显了对更全面理解和有效干预措施的迫切需求。与男性相比，实施儿童性虐待（CSA）的女性表现出独特的心理特征，需要特定的干预计划。本次系统综述有两个目的：主要目的是分析针对实施 CSA 的女性的心理干预的有效性，次要目的是确定针对她们使用的干预模型和策略。为研究针对实施 CSA 的女性的心理干预的有效性，我们在六个数据库中搜索了研究。在全文评估后，所有检索到的论文均被排除在外，因为没有一篇符合主要目标。但是，有八项出版物符合确定可用于干预措施制定的模型和策略的次要目标。提出的干预方案针对文献中强调的犯罪倾向需求中的特定目标，这些需求是该人群的核心，以及根据个体特征补充干预的目标。此外，这些研究经常强调以个体潜力（不仅仅是缺陷）为中心的干预方法，采用性别范式为该人群的心理干预提供依据。本综述的结果突显了当前关于针对实施 CSA 的女性提供和评估心理干预的文献中的一个主要空白。为第二个目标纳入的研究阐明了关键的治疗目标和模型，以提供干预策略的信息，随后将根据其实用意义进行讨论。
