ABSTRACT
Psychosocial therapy that needed for conditional case can use Systematic Desensitization therapy to reduce depressive symptoms in child victims of sexual violence at the Phalamartha Center in Sukabumi. Sexual violence against children is a serious problem that can cause profound psychological impacts, including symptoms of depression. This method is designed to help child victims of sexual violence face and overcome their symptoms of depression and fear. The therapy process involved social workers, psychologists, nurses, doctors, and social counselors, as well as child victims of violence. They were given therapy using the Systematic Desensitization method, which involves a combination of systematic desensitization (reducing emotional responses to traumatic stimuli) and operant stimulus generalization (application of positive responses to desired behaviors). The results showed that the Systematic Desensitization therapy technique significantly reduced depressive symptoms in child victims of sexual violence at the Phalamartha Center. They experienced a reduction in their fear hierarchy and became able to perform Activities of Daily Living (ADL) well after the trial. These findings suggest that this technique can be an effective approach in helping child victims of sexual violence recover from its natural psychological impact. Therefore, this study emphasizes the importance of efforts to improve the welfare of children who are victims of sexual violence.
