Abstract

Background: Child sexual abuse (CSA) causes several psychological problems in preschool children and affects their lives. However, in the literature, much of that research is focused primarily on the impacts of CSA on school-aged and adolescent-aged children, and researchers are left with a gap in knowledge regarding the preschool-aged victims.
