Children Who Are Victims of Sexual Assault and the Psychology of Offenders
Abstract
Psychiatrists and others have too often discounted reports of sexual attacks upon children and ascribed the incident to fantasy. The author’s experience in private psychoanalytic practice and in Philadelphia’s rape victim clinics indicates that these assaults occur frequently. If the sexual attack is dealt with improperly or repressed it may cause serious psychologic problems for the victim as an adult.
