    A relação entre o abuso sexual e distúrbios alimentares tem sido extensamente pesquisada. O abuso sexual como fator de risco para o desenvolvimento de transtornos alimentares, especialmente de bulimia nervosa, é, no entanto, tema controverso. Estudos que investigam a possível relação entre abuso sexual e transtornos alimentares apresentam resultados bastante heterogêneos. O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar uma revisão teórica acerca desta relação. Apesar dos resultados controversos, este trabalho pretende destacar a necessidade de que profissionais de diversas áreas, especialmente psicoterapeutas, estejam atentos para esta possível relação a fim de potencializar suas intervenções.

    The relationship between sexual abuse and eating disorders has been widely researched. Sexual abuse as a risk factor for the development of eating disorders, especially bulimia nervosa is, however, heterogeneous. Studies investigating a possible relationship between sexual abuse and eating disorders have reported highly discrepant results. The aim of this paper is to present a theoretical review about this relationship. Despite controversial results, this paper intends to highlight the need for professionals of several areas, especially psychotherapists, to pay attention to this possible relationship in order to reinforce their interventions.
