title: [Sexual abuse: from the young victims' point of view...].
abstract: A child subjected to sexual abuse will react differently than an adult would. We will come back to the reasons why. In addition to these characteristics inherent to the child, many other factors make the handling of the situation difficult and unusual. The consequences of child abuse, whether visible or not, do indeed unquestionably alter the child's cognitive schemes and the relationships he will built in the future. Do these factors, inherent to the child or to the abusive relationship, always influence the immediate outcome, the followup and the psychological future of these young victims of sexual abuse?
