The current study examined a model of resiliency in sexually abused adolescents using data from the National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-Being (Dowd, et al. 2002). The model was based on Bronfenbrenner and Ceci's (1994) Process-Person-Context-Time Model (PPCT). Contextual variables were arranged in blocks according to the PPCT model (N=237). Hierarchical regression was used to analyze significant influences within the model. The model significantly predicted the absence of general behavior problems but only marginally predicted trauma related symptoms. The results of the study suggest that primary relationships and environmental variables have a stronger influence on post abuse adjustment than abuse-related variables, such as the frequency and nature of the abuse. Clinical implications are discussed, these include strength-based assessment and treatment planning that reflects a sensitivity for individual, family and community strengths.
