Child abuse sexual

The need for privacy when participating in research is based upon a subject s dignity and autonomy and thus warrants respect. As a result, all information regarding a research subject must be kept confidential. The researcher has a duty not to share any information without a subject s free and informed consent. Respect for privacy is an internationally recognized ethical standard and is reflected in Canadian law as a constitutional right. However, there are some circumstances where public health and safety require protection and such privacy may be lost, e.g., child abuse, sexually transmitted diseases. The REB can play an important role in assessing the balance between the need for research versus invasion of privacy, thus protecting individuals from harm as a result of unauthorized use of personal information.

Numerous studies found that childhood sexual, physical, and emotional abuse also predisposes victims of such abuse to the development of depression in adulthood (e.g., McCauley et ah, 1997). The risk for depression increases with early onset and severity of the abuse as well as with the experience of multiple types of abuse. In addition, child abuse is related to an array of anxiety disorders, including generalized anxiety disorder and PTSD (e.g., Kendler et ah, 2000). Other disorders related to childhood abuse include substance abuse, eating disorders, dissociation, and so-...

Until recently I saw the greatest darkness centered around sexual violence and sexual child abuse, the violence against the environment with the resultant effect of pollution and global climate change that is heading us quickly into disaster.

Pelvic fractures can occur as a consequence of child abuse but they are unusual. The presence of a pelvic fracture in a young premobile child without a history of significant trauma should raise the suspicion of an inflicted injury. Pelvic fractures may occur in association with other severe abdominal or pelvic injuries, they have also been described as a consequence of sexual abuse and may therefore be seen in a slightly older group of children (Johnson et al. 2004). 

The term child abuse contains many different forms of cruelty against children - neglect, physical violence, sexual abuse -whether by their own parents, staff in residential institutions, paedophile priests or total strangers. Over the last decade, public perceptions of the problem have become increasingly focused on sexual abuse and sensationally atypical cases outside the family. 

Another episode was more fictitious and one of the purest cases of moral panic. Superimposed on the very real phenomenon of childhood sexual abuse and incest, came the recovered memory of childhood incest bitter debates about the existence of repressed (and recovered) memories of childhood sexual abuse. In these therapeutic interstices, came the story of ritual child abuse , cult child abuse or Satanic abuse . In around 1983, disturbing reports began circulating about children (as well as adults in therapy who were recovering childhood memories) alleging that they had been sexually abused as part of the ritual of secret, Satanic cults, which included torture, cannibalism and... 

Whether treating clinical problems (such as drug abuse, sexual dysfunction, depression, anxiety, pain, hypertension, and child or spouse abuse) or preventing any number of health, social, or environmental ills (from developing healthy and safe lifestyles to improving education and protecting the environment), overt behavior is the focus. Treatment or prevention is based on three basic questions.

Psychosocial morbidity association. Cannabis dependence is a prevalent comorbid substance use disorder among patients early in the course of a schizophrenia-spectrum disorder. Among 29 eligible patients, 18 participated in the study. First-episode patients with comorbid cannabis dependence (n = 8) reported significantly greater childhood physical and sexual abuse compared with those without comorbid cannabis dependence (n = 10). The result indicated the preliminary evidence of an association between childhood maltreatment and cannabis dependence among this especially vulnerable population. Child-... 

According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 1.4 million cases of child maltreatment are reported annually, with 160,000 children suffering serious injuries and 2000 children dying each year as a consequence of maltreatment. Prevalence rates have been evaluated for different types of abuse in clinical, community, and national samples. Prevalence rates of sexual abuse range from 7%-62% in women (McCauley et al., 1997). A reanalysis of 166 studies on the prevalence of sexual abuse in boys revealed rates from...

Not all children who are severely and repeatedly abused develop multiple personality disorder, but if the sexual or physical abuse is extreme and repeated, disassociated clusters of thoughts and feelings may begin to take on lives of their own, especially when the child has no time or space in which to emotionally recover between abuses. Each cluster tends to have a common emotional theme such as anger, sadness, or fear. Eventually, as the walls of disassociation thicken, these clusters develop into full-blown personalities, each with its own memory and characteristics.
