The paper defines child sexual abuse (CSA), its history, and treatment options. It also discusses several therapeutic models,
specifically focusing on individual play therapy with children who have been traumatized by sexual abuse. Several theoretical frameworks in relation to play therapy are mentioned including Rogerian, cognitive-behavioral,
developmental, and
psychodynamic approaches. The diagnosis and assessment are discussed using projective techniques such as drawings and stories, and treatment goals are suggested through the use of a play therapy model. Last, the paper concludes with a case study, a tripartite crisis assessment, techniques and items to utilize in therapy and prognosis.
