Abstract
Retrospective studies shows that a high percentage of the population has been subject of some sort of sexual abuse. Severe traumatizations or their long-term consequences in medicine and dermatology are caused primarily by forms of sexual abuse, as well as by physical or emotional deprivation or physical abuse in individual cases. The Münchhausen-by-proxy syndrome is presented as a special form in Sect. 1.1.4. The spectrum of sexual abuse is presented in detail in the following chapter.
