Abstract(s)
Esta revisão analisa a literatura existente sobre o abuso sexual infantil, nomeadamente
as reações emocionais paternas, de pais não maltratantes, à revelação do abuso. A
literatura tem indicado que as famílias de crianças vítimas de abuso sexual, ao tomarem
conhecimento da situação de abuso dos seus filhos, podem apresentar uma variedade de
manifestações e reações. O suporte familiar está associado ao ajustamento da
sexualidade das crianças abusadas. A literatura demonstra ainda que, na generalidade, as
mães acreditam na revelação do abuso. Que mesmo as mães que são protetoras
manifestam respostas ambivalentes e inconsistentes. Tanto os pais como as mães não
maltratantes manifestam reações emocionais angustiantes face à revelação do abuso. No
entanto, os estudos sobre o abuso sexual infantil são insuficientes e não são
suficientemente esclarecedores ou são contraditórios no que concerne às reações
paternas à revelação do abuso.
ABSTRACT: The present study aimed to examine the existing literature on child sexual abuse, including parental distress, of nonoffending fathers, to disclosure of abuse. Parental support is associated with the adjustment of sexually abused children. The published literature suggests, that mother generally believe their children’s allegations. Even mother who are protective often exhibit inconsistent and ambivalent responses. Both nonoffending mothers and fathers often experience significant distress following their children’s allegations. The literature has shown that families of child victims of sexual abuse, upon learning of the situation of abuse of their children, may have a variety of expressions and reactions. However, studies of child sexual abuse are insufficient and not sufficiently enlightening or have mixed conclusions with respect to parental reactions to disclosure of abuse.
