“…In the current study, reliability analyses indicated acceptable internal consistency for CTQ total scores (Cronbach’s α = .80) and for scores on four of the subscale scores: Physical Abuse (Cronbach’s α = .81), Sexual Abuse (Cronbach’s α = .89), Emotional Abuse (Cronbach’s α = .83), and Emotional Neglect (Cronbach’s α = .84), but substantially lower internal consistency for physical neglect (Cronbach’s α = .45). The relatively low internal consistency for the Physical Neglect subscale is consistent with other studies (Bailey, DeOliveira, Wolfe, Evans, & Hartwick, 2012; Wang et al, 2012).…”

Prior studies have reported correlations between childhood abuse and antisocial behavior and psychopathy, which suggest that exposure to violence may be a risk factor for the development of psychopathy. However, prior studies are largely limited to retrospective studies of adult samples and studies of violence within the home environment. To increase our understanding of risk factors relevant to the development of psychopathy, we investigated associations between self-reports of exposure to violence within the home and community and psychopathic traits in adolescents. A total of 147 adolescents at an Illinois detention center completed the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ) and Community Experience Questionnaire (CEQ) and were assessed using the Psychopathy Checklist: Youth Version (PCL:YV). CEQ and CTQ total scores were associated with psychopathy scores. Moreover, exposure to violence within the community correlated uniquely with scores on the interpersonal, behavioral, and antisocial factor of psychopathy, and exposure to home violence was uniquely related to behavioral factor scores. Results highlight the potential contribution of environmental factors to core components of psychopathy.

“…Some studies found no significant differences between men and women in the experience of different types of child abuse, with the exception of sexual abuse [29]. Others have indicated that female inmates reported a history of sexual abuse more frequently than their male counterparts did [30,31], and male inmates report physical abuse more frequently than female inmates did [32].…”

Gender differences in the relationship between mental health problems and childhood abuse have long been of interest to researchers. The purpose of the present study was to examine gender differences in the relationship between childhood abuse and mental health problems among 110 Israeli inmates (50 women and 60 men). The findings indicated that female inmates reported higher prevalence of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse and were more likely to suffer from mental health problems, compared with the male inmates. Additionally, the findings revealed that more female than male inmates had parents with mental health problems. Female inmates who reported mental health problems in their families also reported higher rates of child abuse relative to male inmates with a similar family history.

“…In the U.S. National Comorbidity Survey (NCS), adults who were repeatedly molested as children were more likely to have dysthymia, drug abuse, and childhood conduct disorder, and about 2 times more likely to have any DSM-III-R disorder (Kessler, Davis, & Kendler, 1997). Research has consistently found that young people who experienced physical abuse tended to commit violence (Widom, 1992) and violent crime (Wang et al, 2012), and men who were sexually abused as children tended to commit sexual assaults (Felson & Lane, 2009; Widom, 1992). Social learning theory may partly explain these psychobehavioral consequences (Bandura, 1973) in that youths with a history of maltreatment may engage in behavior similar to that of their perpetrators, including their abusive parents.…”

Growing evidence has linked early trauma with severe psychiatric consequences. Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a potentially debilitating mental health condition found among some youth in foster care and foster care alumni. However, the current child welfare practice response has not met the demands in both assessment and intervention. This critical review aims to use the evidence to reshape the child welfare response to trauma in children and adolescents. We begin with research on the psychiatric consequences of child maltreatment and issues related to diagnostic assessment for PTSD. Next, we compare major foster care/alumni studies showing considerably higher rates of PTSD among young foster care recipients and alumni than among nationally comparable groups. To inform practice on childhood trauma, we then summarize current evidence-based interventions showing effectiveness with PTSD. Finally, we address new dimensions, such as gene-environment research, posttraumatic growth, and implications for reshaping child welfare practice and foster care.
