Child sexual victimization is a serious problem that affects one in five children in our country and requires an early and effective intervention, allowing to overcome the serious consequences that its victims manifest. Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is the intervention model that gathers a greater amount of evidence regarding its effectiveness. With a minimum of 8 and a maximum of 25 sessions of 50 minutes, in which you work with the victim aged between 3 and 18 years and their caregivers, psychoeducation is offered on the experience of victimization, parental skills that may have been affected by the situation are treated, relaxation techniques that reduce the hyperactivation of the coping with stress system, identification of emotions and emotional expression, the triangle between thoughts, emotions and behaviors, the narrative of the trauma and the cognitive processing of distorted thoughts, exposure to distressing situations or places, as well as strategies to improve security in the future. It is necessary that professionals in our country can be trained in this model and confirm their positive results in the treatment of victims of child sexual abuse in Spain.
