    El objetivo de este trabajo es ofrecer una revisión actualizada de las principales consecuencias psicológicas a largo plazo encontradas en los estudios llevados a cabo con víctimas de abuso sexual infantil en la última década. Se clasificaron los distintos síntomas en cinco categorías: problemas emocionales, problemas de relación, problemas funcionales, problemas de adaptación y problemas sexuales. Los resultados confirman la gravedad de los problemas que pueden presentar estas víctimas y su extensión a lo largo del ciclo evolutivo, siendo necesario que los profesionales sean capaces de detectar estas problemáticas para poder intervenir en estos casos de forma adecuada y eficaz.

    The main aim of the present study is to offer an update of the long-term consequences of child sexual abuse found in current empirical studies in the last decade. Psychological symptoms were classified as follows: emotional problems, relationship problems, functional problems, adaptation problems and sexual problems. Results confirmed the serious difficulties developed by these victims through the years. Psychologists need to know these problems to detect sexual abuse and effectively intervene with its victims.
