Childhood sexual abuse and mental health in adult life
- Authors:
- MULLEN Paul E., et al
- Journal article citation:
- British Journal of Psychiatry, 163, December 1993, pp.721-732.
- Publisher:
- Cambridge University Press
Reports on research in New Zealand, which found a positive correlation between reporting abuse and greater levels of psychopathology on a range of measures. Childhood sexual abuse was more frequent in women from disrupted homes as well as those who had been exposed to inadequate parenting or physical abuse. The overlap between the possible effects of sexual abuse and the effects of the matrix of disadvantage from which it so often emerges were so considerable as to be felt to raise doubts about how often, in practice, it operates as an independent causal element. Lack of long-term impairment of many of those reporting childhood sexual abuse suggests that effects can only be understood in relationship with the context from which the abuse emerged.
