This study presents a recursive, multimodal therapy for child sexual abuse, integrating family, group, and individual sessions. This approach empowers children by fostering agency and multiple self-accounts of their incest experiences.

Area of Science:

  • Child Psychology
  • Trauma Therapy
  • Family Systems

Background:

  • Child sexual abuse within families presents complex challenges.
  • Therapeutic interventions require adaptable and child-centered approaches.
  • Existing modalities may not fully address the multifaceted nature of incest trauma.

Observation:

  • A recursive, multimodal therapy approach is detailed for children experiencing intrafamilial sexual abuse.
  • Therapeutic modalities (family, group, individual) function as distinct "communities" offering diverse perspectives.
  • Children's engagement across these modalities facilitates the development of multiple self-accounts.

Findings:

  • Recursive transfer of therapeutic material across modalities expands meaning-making.
  • Child participation in session content and modality transfer enhances personal agency.
