Abstract
Rorschach protocols of 18 preadolescent, sexually abused children were compared to protocols of 18 clinical controls. Dependent variables included responses with overt sexual contents, sexual symbols and near-sexual contents. Results suggested that the dependent variables in combination, could differentiate sexually abused children from other clinical groups. Other Rorschach indices, according to the Exner scoring system, were generally not discriminatory. Behavior ratings completed by the parent, indicated that, for males, higher levels of behavior problems were associated wlh sexual abuse. Findings are interpreted in tern of a model of victim response to abuse events. Clinical utility is discussed.
