Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate evidence of effectiveness available in the literature regarding psychological interventions for adolescent survivors of childhood sexual abuse. To this end, a systematic review of literature published between 2018 and 2024 was conducted, using databases such as Science Direct, Sage Journals, PsycNet, Pubmed, Scielo, Pepsic, Lilacs, Periódicos Capes, and EBSCO. The following inclusion criteria were adopted: 1) studies whose subjects were individuals between 11 and 19 years old; 2) studies that examined the outcome of interventions on clients' mental health; 3) having an experimental or quasi-experimental design. Among 6006 studies identified, six studies were included in this review. The results showed diversity in the treatment approaches used; however, all demonstrated effectiveness in reducing symptoms during psychological intervention, maintaining this improvement even after treatment completion. It is suggested that in future studies, aspects such as the instruments used, time between assessments, and evaluated symptoms be meticulously detailed to address any observed inconsistencies in comparisons. Psychology has much to contribute to the development of specific effective treatments through evidence-based interventions for survivors of sexual abuse, given their specificities, while also assisting in the development of public health policies that can be applied to improve the quality of life of this population.
