Sexual Assault and Victimization Studies Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Research Child Abuse and Trauma

Abstract

The relationship between mental disorders and sexual victimization is well documented in the literature; however, which characteristics of the victimization experience actually produce this increased risk is not well understood. The present study explored the role of repeated sexual victimization in producing increased risk for mental disorders, relative to adult-only or child-only sexual victimization. Ninety-two females completed questionnaires including trauma history and sexual victimization history. Diagnostic interviews were completed to assess for mental disorders. PTSD was the only mental disorder which was found to differentiate between women with repeated victimization versus child-only or adult-only sexual assault. The results were limited by small sample size, but suggest the need to consider adult revictimization as a contributing factor to PTSD related to child sexual abuse.
