Abstract

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) can lead to posttraumatic stress and disruptions in adulthood, highlighting the need for appropriate treatment. This study aimed to examine the effect of Forgiveness Therapy in improving posttraumatic growth (PTG) among young adults with ACEs history. A partially randomized experimental design with pretest, posttest 1, and posttest 2 was implemented. The study included 16 participants who were divided into two groups with eight participants, respectively. Statistical analysis using repeated measures ANOVA indicated interaction between PTG scores with group (F(2) = 19.0, p < 0.01). An independent sample t-test also revealed a significant difference of PTG score between groups, with a large effect size (t(14,0)= 2.38; d= 1.19). In conclusion, Forgiveness Therapy was found to increase PTG by facilitating emotional regulation, cognitive reframing, self-disclosure, and the therapeutic effects of group therapy.

Abstract

This study explores the intellectual overview of psychological crisis in child sexual abuse (CSA) victims. Bibliometric analysis was performed to identify three primary terms “psychological crisis”, “child sexual abuse”, and “victims” between 2014 and 2024 which yielded 2,058 documents from WoS and Scopus databases after applying filtration criteria. The results were generated through VOSviewer and Biblioshiny. The study identified CSA as predominated keyword (11%), while psychological crises denoted with terms like trauma, anxiety, depression, and PTSD (1%). The psychological crisis marked as prevalence provides major impacts in recent research, while CSA remains an emerging topic that is evolving into specific areas such as punishment, emotions, victim blaming, and decision-making. The co-citation and authorship identified Finkelhor and Cohen J as fundamental researchers on CSA and child trauma, while Lyon TD as an influential author on CSA. The findings suggest that the research on CSA and its emotional effect on victims offers significant opportunities for further exploration in developing countries, particularly in Southeast Asia, alongside contributions from pioneer countries and established authors. The study concludes the need to advance research across several thematic areas in order to address existing knowledge gaps and advance scientific knowledge.
