Sin Verguenza: Addressing Shame with Latino Victims of Child Sexual Abuse and Their Families
Fontes, Lisa Aronson
Journal of Child Sexual Abuse, v16 n1 p61-83 2007
This article explores shame issues for Latino children who have been sexually abused and their families. Latino cultural concerns around shame that are associated with sexual abuse include: attributions for the abuse, fatalism, virginity, sexual taboos, predictions of a shameful future, revictimization, machismo, and fears of homosexuality for boy victims, and the intersection of shame from sexual abuse with societal discrimination. Quotes and case material are drawn from the author's research and clinical work. The article includes clinical suggestions.
