Thesis (MA) -- Stellenbosch University, 2005. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study will review the literature on resilience in adult female childhood sexual abuse
survivors with specific focus on incestuous abuse. Adults with histories of sexual abuse
are categorised as either resilient or non-resilient on the basis of current functioning.
Characteristics of the family of origin and its perceived contribution to the child sexual
abuse are discussed. The developmental psychopathology literature addressing issues of
resilience and vulnerability to stresses is addressed. The theoretical concepts of
resilience, as they relate to protective mechanisms are discussed. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie navorsingstuk bied 'n oorsig oor die literatuur met betrekking tot die
herstelvermoe van volwasse vroulike persone wat as kinders seksueel mishandel is, met
besondere klem op bloedskandelike mishandeling. Volwassenes met 'n geskiedenis van
seksuele mishandeling word op grond van hulle huidige funksionering beskryf as Of in
staat om te herstel of nie daartoe in staat nie. Kenmerke van die gesin van oorsprong en
die waargenome bydrae van die gesin tot die seksuele mishandeling van kinders word
bespreek. Die literatuur met betrekking tot ontwikkelingsgerigte psigopatologie gee
aandag aan vraagstukke met betrekking tot herstelvermoe en kwesbaarheid teen die
agtergrond van stres. Die teoretiese konsepte van herstelvermoe, en die verband daarvan
met beskermende meganismes, word ook bespreek.
