  • Title: Addressing Sexual Dysfunction After Childhood Sexual Abuse: A Clinical Approach from an Attachment Perspective.
    Author: Gewirtz-Meydan A, Ofir-Lavee S.
    Journal: J Sex Marital Ther; 2021; 47(1):43-59. PubMed ID: 32783606.
    Abstract:
    Sexual dysfunctions are very prevalent among survivors of childhood sexual abuse. While the relationship between sexual abuse and sexual dysfunction is well-established, understanding of the mechanisms explaining this relationship is still limited and has not been studied thoroughly. The current article presents a preliminary, theoretical model of the association between childhood sexual abuse, and sexual dysfunctions in adulthood from an attachment-trauma perspective. This model is based on previous literature and hours of clinical work in sex therapy and attachment theory-based therapy, and identifies important factors that have not been adequately accounted for in the literature.
