The sexual abuse of a child is always unfavorable experience for him. It is a factor of risk for his psychosexual development. It is therefore crucial to look for the resources and possibilities to support the development of children and adolescents sexually abused in their families – especially when planning and conducting a diagnostic and therapeutic process. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the need for the use of attachment theory and systemic theories in the therapeutic support of sexually abused persons. The presence of the subject in pedagogical literature is also essential, which will facilitate the cooperation of professionals dealing with children and adolescents with parents and will help to build aid programs more effectively.
