The topic of sex offenses committed by women has received relatively little attention until recent decades. The scarcity of research in this domain underscores the urgent need for a more comprehensive understanding and effective interventions. Women who committed child sexual abuse (CSA) exhibit a distinct psychological profile compared to men, requiring specific intervention programs. The current systematic review has two aims: the primary aim is to analyze the effectiveness of psychological interventions with women who committed CSA, and the secondary aim is to identify the intervention models and strategies used with them. Six databases were searched for studies examining the effectiveness of psychological interventions. All retrieved papers were excluded after full-text assessments as none met the primary objective. However, eight publications fulfilled the secondary objective of identifying models and strategies that could inform intervention development. The intervention programs presented addressed specific targets focused on criminogenic needs highlighted in the literature as central to this population, as well as targets that complement the intervention according to individual characteristics. Moreover, the studies frequently emphasize an intervention approach centered on individuals’ potential (and not just their deficits), employing a gender paradigm to underpin psychological interventions with this population. The results of this review highlight a major gap in the current literature concerning both the delivery and effectiveness assessment of psychological intervention for women who committed CSA. The studies incorporated for the second objective elucidated critical treatment targets and models to inform intervention strategies, which are subsequently discussed in terms of their practical implications.

心理干预对实施儿童性虐待的妇女的有效性：一项空洞的系统评价


直到近几十年来，女性性犯罪的话题受到的关注相对较少。该领域研究的稀缺凸显了对更全面理解和有效干预的迫切需求。与男性相比，犯下儿童性虐待 （CSA） 的女性表现出独特的心理特征，需要特定的干预计划。目前的系统评价有两个目标：主要目的是分析心理干预对实施 CSA 的女性的有效性，次要目的是确定用于她们的干预模式和策略。检索了 6 个数据库，以查找检查心理干预有效性的研究。在全文评估后，所有检索到的论文都被排除在外，因为没有一篇论文达到主要目标。然而，八篇出版物实现了确定可以为干预发展提供信息的模型和策略的次要目标。提出的干预计划针对的是侧重于文献中强调的对该人群核心的犯罪需求的特定目标，以及根据个人特征补充干预的目标。此外，这些研究经常强调以个人潜力（而不仅仅是他们的缺陷）为中心的干预方法，采用性别范式来支持对这一人群的心理干预。本综述的结果突出了当前文献中关于实施 CSA 的妇女心理干预的实施和有效性评估的主要空白。 为第二个目标纳入的研究阐明了关键的治疗目标和模型，以告知干预策略，随后根据其实际意义进行讨论。
