Impact of sexual abuse on children: a review and synthesis of recent empirical studies.

Psychol. Bull. 113,: 164-180 (1993)

review:
"A glaring inadequacy in the literature" they point out, "is a nearly universal absence of theoretical underpinning. ... researchers studying childhood sexual abuse have looked in isolation at many factors related to the impact of abuse. Now it is time for us to combine them into more realistic models." (pp. 174 and 176). (see Esman 1994)
