The psychological impact of sexual abuse: Content analysis of interviews with male survivors

(David Lisak, Journal of Traumatic Stress, Vol. 7, No. 4, 1994)

This study was intended to contribute to a cross-validation of previous qualitative findings. To this end, interviews with adult male survivors of childhood sexual abuse were content analyzed and coded by independent raters to derive a reliable set of psychological themes which together describe some of the legacy of abuse in men.
