Preexisting Sexual Trauma and the Impacts on Psychological Well-Being of College Students
Abstract
dc:description.abstract<p>Childhood sexual abuse appears to be a taboo topic with a long history of being left out of the discussion regarding mental health in adulthood despite the varied and devastating consequences. The overall lack of research on this topic, especially regarding the college student population, can be considered a barrier to treatment for those individuals. The current literature review attempts to fill the research gap by discussing the epidemiology, prevalence, and description of preexisting sexual trauma in college students. The potential negative effects of preexisting sexual trauma and how they occur with college students were explored to highlight how pervasive the impact these histories are for individuals. By providing information and resources that can be utilized by college counseling centers in a variety of ways, services to students with preexisting sexual trauma could be enhanced to improve overall student well-being.</p>
