title: Child sexual abuse. 2: Techniques for helping adult survivors.
abstract: Nurses play a valuable role in helping victims of child sexual abuse. Through constant reassurance and skilled assistance the victims can realize that they can survive the abuse experience. The nurse wishing to work with this group of patients has an ethical and moral obligation to develop the necessary expertise and clinical competence to ensure that the intervention does not cause further harm and the development of maladaptive behaviour.
