Childhood Sexual Abuse (CSA) remains one of the most misunderstood and underreported forms of abuse. This webinar provides a research-informed overview of the extent, nature, and psychological dynamics of CSA, highlighting the unique challenges in measuring its prevalence and addressing its impact. Participants will explore why global statistics are difficult to gather and how cultural and systemic denial, minimization, and stereotyping contribute to ongoing misconceptions.
Drawing on recent studies, the session examines key concepts such as the Child Sexual Abuse Accommodation Syndrome (CSAAS), which explains how children respond to abuse through patterns of helplessness, entrapment, and accommodation. We will also explore the complex processes of disclosure, recantation, and the child’s coping strategies, as well as the profound psychological and medical consequences that can follow. This webinar is essential for professionals seeking to deepen their understanding of CSA through the lens of current research and clinical insights.
