Social workers’ views on pre-trial therapy in cases of child sexual abuse in South Africa
2018, Child Abuse and NeglectCitation Excerpt :The harmful impact of CSA on the social and emotional wellbeing of children is well documented in literature. Earlier studies indicate that between 21% and 36% of victims of CSA present with no detectable symptoms during childhood (Conte & Schuerman, 1987; Kendall-Tackett, Williams, & Finkelhor, 1993; Mannarino & Cohen, 1986; Tong, Oates, & McDowell, 1987). A more recent study found that between 10% and 53% of children with a history of CSA have normal levels of functioning (Domhardt, Munzer, Fegert, & Goldbeck, 2014).
