Enfoque psicoterapéutico para el tratamiento del trauma derivado del abuso sexual en población infanto juvenil: Revisión sistemática a partir de la experiencia práctica

Abstract

Abstract: This curricular integration project addresses trauma from sexual abuse in the child and adolescent population, detected during clinical psychology practicums. Based on this experience, a research question was formulated to identify the most frequently used and effective therapeutic approaches for treating trauma in the study population, leading to a systematic review of the scientific literature. The results showed that Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy was the most frequently used and effective in reducing symptoms. Accordingly, a simulated clinical case was developed for a girl with PTSD symptoms, a victim of sexual abuse, which included identification data, reason for consultation, psychological evaluation, and a therapeutic plan adapted to her needs. Therefore, this work made it possible to articulate theory, professional practice, and scientific evidence, thus promoting an ethical and contextualized approach for children and adolescents who present PTSD symptoms.
