abstract = {The objective of this study was to analyze the effects of attachment style and emotional
security in the family system on suicidal ideation in a sample of young adult female victims of child
sexual abuse (CSA). The possible effects of CSA characteristics and other types of child abuse on
suicidal ideation were controlled for. The sample consisted of 188 female college students who had
been victims of sexual abuse before the age of 18, as well as 188 randomly selected participants
who had not experienced CSA. The results showed that both attachment and emotional security
were associated with suicidal ideation, even when controlling for both the characteristics of abuse
and the existence of other abuses. The strong relationships of emotional security and attachment
style with suicidal ideation suggest the importance of early intervention with children who have
been sexually abused and their families, in an effort to optimize their attachment style, as well as to
decrease emotional insecurity to prevent the onset of symptomatology related to suicidal ideation.},
