Abstract

Resumen: En este artículo se revisará la epidemiología del abuso sexual infantil, así como el impacto que tiene sobre la salud mental de la persona. Se analizarán mecanismos de invisibilización que permiten que, pese a que se dé en grandes porcentajes de la población y a que haya sido relacionado con problemas de salud mental, continúe sin producirse una respuesta proporcional a nivel social. Por último, se propondrán una serie de pautas acerca del papel que pueden jugar los profesionales de la salud mental en este campo. Palabras clave: Abuso sexual infantil, salud mental, trauma, revisión crítica. Abstract: In this article, the epidemiology of childhood sexual abuse and its impact on the mental health will be reviewed. Invisibilization mechanisms, which allow society for not giving a proportional response despite that child sexual abuse is happening in a big percentage of population and that it has been related to mental health problems, will be reviewed. Finally, reflections about mental health professionals role in this field will be discussed. Keywords: Childhood sexual abuse, mental health, trauma, critical review.
