Authors Davidson and Omar’s aim for this article was to summarise what current studies are saying about the long-term consequences of childhood sexual assaults. They commented at the start of this articles on the many different conclusions made by researchers as to what types of disorders sexually abused young females are diagnosed with in their adult years.
Although this article does not come to a conclusion, the authors summarise and conclude their article in their discussion section. They address the fact that expected consequential outcomes like psychological issues are shown in repeated studies but they also acknowledge that the long-term effects span out to include physiological factors like stress as well, that affects the learning capacity of sexually abused adolescents. The authors relay the most common disorders to be inhibited by sexually abused women and conclude that by looking into our history, we may find the diagnoses to treat these women more
