In this episode of 'One in Ten,' host Teresa Huizar speaks with Dr. Ernie Jouriles, professor and director of clinical training at Southern Methodist University, to explore the profound influence of spirituality and divine struggles on children and teens who have experienced sexual abuse. They discuss why some young individuals perceive their abuse as divine punishment, the role of self-blame, and the minimal attention the intersection of spirituality and mental health has received in child maltreatment literature. Dr. Jouriles shares findings from his studies, revealing significant predictors of trauma symptoms over time and highlighting the need for a holistic approach to care that includes discussing faith-related concerns. Practical implications for child advocacy professionals and the potential role of faith leaders in supporting affected children are also explored.
