在美国，虐待儿童似乎是导致精神疾病和行为障碍的唯一最可预防的原因。很少有已发表的研究检验性虐待的发育和心理生物学后果。性虐待可以通过多种机制导致创伤后应激障碍，激活生物应激反应系统，并促进不利的大脑发育。这篇文章将批判性地回顾与虐待相关的精神病学问题和新兴的生物应激系统研究，特别强调关于性虐待受害的已知情况。
Child maltreatment appears to be the single most preventable cause of mental illness and behavioral dysfunction in the United States. Few published studies examine the developmental and the psychobiological consequences of sexual abuse. There are multiple mechanisms through which sexual abuse can cause post-traumatic stress disorder, activate biological stress response systems, and contribute to adverse brain development. This article will critically review the psychiatric problems associated with maltreatment and the emerging biologic stress system research with a special emphasis on what is known about victimization by sexual abuse.
