N2  - A developmental focus in treatment adolescents with sexual issues is often lacking. These issues include an understanding of normative sexual development, identity development, gender identity, sexual orientation, and relationship formation. Sexually vulnerable youth have special problems related to their sexual development that requires a developmental perspective in order to offer effective treatment. Sexually vulnerable youth, a term used by the author, describes youth that are sexually abusive, have been sexually abused and sexual minority youth. The characteristics of these three groups of youth are described and compared and many similarities are noted. A model of healthy sexuality that integrates several theories is presented as a way to conceptualize and understand the special needs of this population.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
