Recent trends towards researching the effects of sexual abuse highlight the need for more studies to explore treatment interventions, such as psychosexual therapy for survivors of sexual abuse. A psychosexual group therapy intervention is proposed and the usefulness of the intervention was explored. The purpose of the psychosexual group therapy intervention is to aid survivors in healing some of the damage done to their sexuality, which was a result of sexual abuse. The purpose of this study was to explore the perceptions of adult, female survivors of sexual abuse with regard to their sexuality and the helpfulness of participating in a psychosexual group therapy intervention. The participants chosen for this study were a clinical sample of women already involved in individual psychotherapy to treat issues related to their history of sexual abuse or assault, who volunteered to be part of a psychosexual group therapy intervention. The findings of the study suggest that this type of group was beneficial to the participants. The participants reported an increase in their knowledge about sex, sexuality, and the impact that their abuse history had on their current sexual functioning. They also reported a better understanding of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and the sexual sequelae caused by PTSD. Participants reported an increase in sexual desire and satisfaction, as well as, feeling like they were better able to manage triggers, flashbacks, and/or intrusive memories, which had previously been a hindrance to their ability to enjoy sexual activity, both alone or with a partner. Implications and suggestions for further research are discussed in the final Chapter.
