Childhood sexual and physical abuse as factors in adult psychiatric illness

JB Bryer, BA Nelson, JB Miller and PA Krol
Charles River Hospital, Wellesley, MA 02181.

Using objective measures, the authors found a high rate of childhood sexual and physical abuse in a sample of 66 female psychiatric inpatients. Childhood abuse experiences were correlated with severity of adult psychiatric symptoms. The authors explore the usefulness of adult psychological symptoms, diagnoses, and prescribed medications as factors in the identification of patients who have histories of early sexual and physical abuse.
