dc.description.notesThis article presents a study in Belgium that investigated the extent that abuse-related symptoms and family functioning is related to intra- or extra-familial sexual abuse. The study examined: the variability of trauma-related symptoms in sexually abused adolescents; differences in abuse-related symptoms and in family functioning between adolescents who have been sexually abused by an intra- or extra-familial perpetrator; and whether characteristics of family functioning can be predictive for trauma-related symptoms. Information from the participants was obtained from self-report questionnaires and semi-structured interviews: 53% of the adolescents reported clinically significant symptoms. Data did not support the idea that intra-familial sexually abused adolescents report more symptoms than extra-familial sexually abused adolescents. Family functioning, especially lack of cohesion, appeared to be the most consistent predictor of internalising symptoms such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress and dissociation. The study showed that differences in abuse-related symptoms and in perception of family functioning were not related to type of abuse. The functioning of families with a sexually abused adolescent did not differ from non-clinical families. Limitations of the study are also discussed.en
