An account is given of the development of a treatment project for sexually abused children and their families. We review incidence data which indicate that sexual abuse of children is likely to be a far more frequent problem than has been recognised and cause an appreciable degree of psychological damage. Professional responses to this are confused and treatment facilities limited. Sexual abuse is seen as an expression of severe relationship problems in the family and therapeutic provision is made, therefore, not only for the abused child but for other members of the family (including both parents). The method adopted is to offer group therapy to the child, mother, and father and regular family meetings with professionals in the community, concerned with care and protection of children. Clinical data on the first 56 children treated are discussed and our approach to treatment is evaluated.
本文介绍了一个针对遭受性虐待儿童及其家庭的治疗项目的开展情况。我们回顾了发病率数据，这些数据表明儿童性虐待可能是一个比人们认识到的更为常见的问题，并会造成相当程度的心理伤害。专业人士对此的反应较为混乱，治疗设施也很有限。性虐待被视为家庭中严重关系问题的一种表现，因此不仅为受虐待儿童，也为家庭中的其他成员（包括父母双方）提供治疗服务。所采用的方法是为儿童、母亲和父亲提供团体治疗，并定期与社区中关心和保护儿童的专业人士举行家庭会议。文中讨论了首批接受治疗的56名儿童的临床数据，并对我们的治疗方法进行了评估。
