Child sexual abuse affects victims both physically and psychologically. There is no one syndrome or rule of thumb for treating victims. Every individual is different and has different coping strategies and will react or respond in their own way. Some individual’s coping mechanism may in fact subject them to improper diagnosis. Therefore, it is necessary to identify with each individual experiences to appropriately support the care and treatment of survivors of childhood sexual abuse.
