Adult Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse: The Case of Mormon Women

Martha N. Beck

Sylvia Cowan-Hancock

Tracey Wilkinson-Sparks

Adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse who are members of patriarchal religions face a particular challenge because church teachings and interactions with church members may present barriers to the full recognition and healing of their abuse. This article reports on a study of the experiences of 71 Mormon women survivors of abuse in their dealings with church leaders and the women's responses to these interactions.
