Coping and resilience amongst men sexually abused in childhood

A/Prof. Patrick O'Leary

Coping strategies of men who were sexually abused in childhood were examined to ascertain their relationship to clinical diagnoses. A primary sample of 147 Australian men was recruited from agencies and self help groups who support adults who were sexually abused in childhood. Coping strategies influenced the possibility of being classified as clinical or non-clinical.
