Keywords:
Bioecological theory, sexual abuse, human development.Abstract
Sexual abuse is considered as a public health problem and represents a challenge to the psychological science, mainly because of the difficulty of access as it is surrounded by secrets and silence. Focusing human development, the use of new approaches and methodologies that favor the understanding of the phenomena in a systemic and multifaceted way is needed. The objective of the present article is to present and discuss Urie Bronfenbrenner's Bioecological Theory of Human Development presuppositions in the light of its adjustment to the study of sexual abuse. Critical and ethical aspects of the bioecological approach are recognized and future studies are suggested based on the emerging issues connected to sexual abuse.Downloads
