Abstract

The objective of this review was to ascertain the incidence of childhood sexual abuse: to ascertain the long-term effects of childhood sexual abuse and to collate the experiences of homeopaths in caring for survivors. Childhood sexual abuse (CSA) is common with a high percentage of homeopathic patients giving a positive history. It is associated with many common clinical conditions, particularly pelvic pain. Survivors are more likely to present for medical help and to be hospitalised. Homeopaths have found work with such patients to be difficult, with cases being complex and multi-layered. New models for case-analysis have been developed.
