Dissociative symptoms in relation to childhood physical and sexual abuse
JA Chu and DL Dill
McLean Hospital, Belmont, MA 02178.
Studies have reported high rates of childhood abuse in people with
psychiatric illness. This study examined whether dissociative symptoms are
specific to patients with histories of abuse. Ninety-eight female
psychiatric inpatients completed self-report instruments that focused on
childhood history of trauma, dissociative symptoms, and psychiatric
symptoms in general. Sixty-three percent of the subjects reported physical
and/or sexual abuse. Eighty-three percent had dissociative symptom scores
above the median score of normal adults, and 24% had scores at or above the
median score of patients with posttraumatic stress disorder. Subjects with
a history of childhood abuse reported higher levels of dissociative
symptoms than those who did not.
