Abstract

Sexual difficulties are common in adults who were sexually abused as children. By definition, these difficulties affect their partners, who have been referred to a ‘vicarious victims’ of that abuse. This case study illustrates vicarious victimization of both marital partners, neither of whom was directly abused, through the husband's knowledge of his sister being abused by their father. It also illustrates the importance of identifying correctly the underlying automatic, negative beliefs when combining cognitive and behavioural interventions.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
