摘要：The sexual abuse of children is a substantial social problem which affects large numbers of children and young people worldwide. For many children, but not all, it can result in a range of psychological and behavioural problems, some of which can continue into adulthood. Knowing what is most likely to benefit children already traumatised by these events is important. This systematic review aimed to assess the efficacy of cognitive‐behavioural approaches (CBT) in addressing the immediate and longer‐term sequelae on children who have been sexually abused. Ten studies were identified that met the inclusion criteria for the review in which a total of 847 children participated. The evidence suggests that CBT may have a positive impact on the sequelae of child sexual abuse, but most results were statistically non‐significant. Implications for practice and further research are noted.
