Childhood sexual abuse is a serious problem with potential for long term impact on the
victims. A history of CSA is associated with psychological distress in adult survivors (Hund &
Espelage, 2005). There are risk factors and protective factors that can mediate these effects. One
protective factor that has been found to be the best predictor of outcome is adaptive coping,
However, there is no known measure with well-established psychometric properties that assesses
for adaptive coping behaviors. The Solution Focus Recovery Scale was developed to assess
adaptive coping in adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse and sexual assault. The SFRS has
some preliminary data to support the reliability and validity of the measure (Kruczek & Vitanza,
1999; Kruczek & Ægisdóttir, 2005). The current study will help to continue to establish the
psychometric properties of the SFRS so that it can be used as an outcome measure for future
research and in treatment. / Department of Counseling Psychology and Guidance Services
