Child sexual abuse was examined nationally and in the Washington, DC and Howard University Hospital area. In an attempt to describe this widespread problem, two case histories are presented which reflect some of the typical characteristics of child sexual abuse cases seen at Howard University Hospital. Pertinent literature is reviewed citing the prevalence rates and the personality and environmental factors which may contribute to the sexual abuse of children in this country. Finally, the role of the physician in identifying and treating the physical and emotional effects of child abuse are discussed.
我们在全国范围内以及华盛顿特区和霍华德大学医院所在地区对儿童性虐待问题进行了调查。为了描述这一普遍存在的问题,我们呈现了两个案例,它们反映了霍华德大学医院所见儿童性虐待案例的一些典型特征。我们回顾了相关文献,列举了患病率以及可能导致美国儿童遭受性虐待的人格和环境因素。最后,我们讨论了医生在识别和治疗儿童虐待造成的身体和情感影响方面所起的作用。
