“…() identified two groups predominantly (i.e., 71%–98%) composed of women (i.e., polyvictims with child and adult interpersonal trauma histories as well as adult community trauma survivors) and two groups composed almost exclusively (90%–100%) of men (i.e., community trauma survivors reporting adult traumatic accidents, physical assaults, and combat exposure). Consistent with evidence that polyvictimization across developmental epochs is associated with the most severe and complex symptoms (Dierkhising, Ford, Branson, Grasso, & Lee, ), members of the polyvictimization class were particularly likely to be classified as CPTSD and specifically as DSO. Members of the polyvictimization class were also likely to not have a clear memory of traumatic events they experienced and were more likely than adult community trauma survivors to report past sexual assaults in childhood and/or adulthood.…”

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is inherently complex, yet a growing evidence base indicates that a complex variant (CPTSD) can be distinguished from classic PTSD based on evidence of clinically significant affect, interpersonal, and self/identity dysregulation. This Commentary to the Journal of Traumatic Stress special section on CPTSD reviews the results of four new studies that empirically tested the structure, traumatic stressor antecedents, and construct validity of CPTSD in relation to PTSD and borderline personality disorder (BPD). Based on these and prior empirical findings, a reconceptualization of PTSD, CPTSD, and BPD as posttraumatic threat, betrayal, and rejection disorders, respectively, is proposed. Implications for treatment of trauma survivors are discussed in relation to articles in this special section, which describe a modular framework for CPTSD treatment and an innovative attachment and self-regulation focused on the redesign of a traditional outpatient mental health clinic.

“…Recently, in a study on 1,177 young people with expansive gender and sexual identities, Sterzing and colleagues (2017) found that 39.3% of the adolescents experienced polyvictimization (i.e., 10 or more adverse events) during the past year, nearly twice the prevalence found for youth drawn from the general population (Finkelhor, Ormrod, & Turner, 2007). While this study did not explicitly assess the co-occurrence between maltreatment types, it is likely that many of the cases of polyvictimization involved multiple types of maltreatment, CHILDHOOD MALTREATMENT AND IPV AMONG LESBIAN GAY BISEXUAL INDIVIDUALS 5 based on other studies on polyvictimization in high-risk youth or young adult populations (Charak et al, 2016;Charak, Ford, Modrowski, & Kerig, 2018;Dierkhising, Ford, Branson, Grasso, & Lee, 2018). Together, these studies suggest that the co-occurrence of types of childhood maltreatment is likely among LGB individuals.…”

Background: Childhood abuse and neglect (CAN) and intimate partner violence victimization (IPV) is prevalent among lesbian, gay, and bisexual individuals (LGB). Identification of distinct patterns of childhood and adult victimization, including technology-mediated and face-to-face IPV, and their cumulative relations to mental/behavioral health challenges, among LGB people is needed to facilitate identification of at-risk individuals. Objective: Using latent class analysis, we first sought to identify patterns of lifetime interpersonal victimization, primarily five types of CAN and IPV in LGB emerging adults. Second, we examined if LGB-status and race/ethnicity predicted classmembership; third, we assessed differences between the latent classes on emotion dysregulation, depressive and anxiety symptoms, and alcohol use. Participants: Participants were 288 LGB adults between 18-29 years (M = 25.35, SD = 2.76; 41.7% gay/lesbian) recruited via Amazon MTurk. Methods and Results: The 3-step LCA identified five-latent classes: high victimization, childhood emotional abuse and neglect, cybervictimization, adult face-to-face IPV, and lower victimization. People of color (including Hispanics) were more likely to be in the high victimization class, and bisexual individuals, especially bisexual women, in the childhood emotional abuse and neglect class. High victimization and childhood emotional abuse and neglect classes had elevated emotion dysregulation levels and depression and anxiety symptoms, and the high victimization class reported the highest levels of alcohol use. *3.

“…More recently, research has paid more attention to the impact of exposure to multiple victimization types, or "poly-victimization" [25]. Dierkhising, Ford, Branson, Grasso and Lee [26] defined poly-victimization as "exposure to multiple and varied traumatic stressors involving interpersonal violence" (p. 41). It has been found that different forms of victimization are interrelated in such a way that the adolescents who experience one type are also likely to be exposed to other forms of victimization [27].…”

The present study examined the relations among poly-bullying victimization (experiencing multiple forms of peer bullying), resilience and subjective well-being. This study specifically examined late adolescents’ resilience as a moderator of the relation between poly-bullying victimization and subjective well-being. In a region of central Spain, 1430 undergraduate students (64% females, 36% males), aged between 18 and 22 years, completed three self-reported measures, including bullying victimization experiences, self-reported subjective well-being and resilience. A substantial proportion of the participants (16.9%) reported being victims of poly-bullying. The results showed that the poly-bullying victimization group reported the poorest subjective well-being and the lowest resilience levels. The regression analyses revealed that resilience was significantly and positively associated with subjective well-being, and resilience moderated the association between poly-bullying victimization and subjective well-being. However, the relation was very weak and accounted for only an additional 1% of variance in the participants’ subjective well-being. Future research should assess resilience trajectories of youth exposed to multiple forms of bullying victimization in order to better understand the potential protective effect of resilience over negative mental health outcomes.
