Abstract

The research focused on the 25 female sexually abused children of Saint Mary's House in Tagaytay. It a also analyzed their self-concept and coping mechanisms based on the result of their projective drawing. The researchers used the case analysis approach in gathering, analyzing, evaluating and interpreting the data. The results of the projective drawings made by sexually abused children were used to formulate possible activities for therapeutic intervention. This study revealed that 9 (42.86%) sexually abused children suffered a lot because of the emotional disturbances like aggression, depression, evasion guild, hatred anxiety, confusion emptiness and low self-concept. The coping mechanisms of 13 respondents (52%) were evasion, and respondents (24%) masturbation, 5 respondents (20%) displacement, hostility and fantasy. It was concluded that sexually abused children had varying self-concept and coping mechanisms and they were highly bothered by emotional disturbances. This study recommended the following : 1. Follow therapeutic intervention programs religiously and effectively. 2. Follow up and visitation while implementing the therapeutic intervention program after one and a quarter month of sessions be done. 3. That guidance and counseling on the sexually abused children be done continuously. 4. That wholesome and varied activities that would serve as outlet for releasing tensions and stored energies be implemented through sports, contests, musical festival and the like.
