Abstract [English]

This section presents research on psychological risk factors related to adolescent sexual abuse. Due to the complexity of the subject matter, many retrospective studies have identified risk factors associated with sexual abuse. It was not possible to achieve random orientation of relationships in these studies. Not only do memories change over the years, but the experience of sexual abuse and its aftermath can be altered by familial, relational, emotional and personal factors. There are several prospective studies that have identified risk factors in adolescents. Thus, the available reviews are divided into two sections: (a) Reviews of adolescent sexual abuse and (b) Reviews of risk factors in adolescents and adults. Risk factors are listed in the next section
