“…Male victims, as compared with female victims, are more likely to have identity conflicts and to ruminate (Hunter, 1991), to have greater difficulties coping and handling relationships (Orbuch et al, 1994; Rew et al, 1991), and to have a less complete understanding of the assault and less success in account making (Orbuch et al, 1994). Male survivors may also exhibit more externalizing behaviors involving aggression and acting out (Becker-Lausen & Mallon-Kraft, 1995; Krugman, 1996). Societal differences in gender roles may also play a part.…”

“…In contrast, women may blame themselves more and be more prone to feeling shame about their abuse experiences than men (Feiring et al, 1996; Lewis, 1992). Women more frequently report body disturbance problems (Hunter, 1991) and internalizing symptoms, such as depression and anxiety (Becker-Lausen & Mallon-Kraft, 1995; Krugman, 1996). Others suggest that girls may be more at risk for making internal negative attributions about the abuse (Feiring et al, 1996).…”

“…Men are still often viewed as perpetrators, not victims, and it is only recently that the paucity of services tailored for male victims has been addressed (Mendel, 1995). Many clinicians are increasingly beginning to appreciate that male and female survivors tend to be different from one another in important ways (Becker-Lausen & Mallon-Kraft, 1995; Feiring, Taska, & Lewis, 1996; Hunter, 1991; Krugman, 1996; Orbuch, Harvey, Davis, & Merbach, 1994; Rew, Espararza, & Sands, 1991). A number of critical questions for the practicing therapist remain unanswered, however (Hunter, 1991; Kendall-Tackett & Simon, 1992; Orbuch et al, 1994).…”

If gender differences in recovery from childhood sexual abuse (CSA) go unrecognized, treatment may be unsuccessful. Gender differences in abuse characteristics, outcomes, and recovery are described for 131 therapists with CSA histories. Female clinicians reported more problems with self-esteem, relationships, trust, sex, and work than males. Female clinicians identified several recovery experiences as more important: relinquishing guilt, talking about the abuse, renegotiating family-of-origin relationships, personal therapy, reading or writing about their CSA, hospitalization, and CSA workshops. Therapists working with male victims need to be aware of possible gender differences in symptom report and effects of healing strategies. 378This document is copyrighted by the American Psychological Association or one of its allied publishers.This article is intended solely for the personal use of the individual user and is not to be disseminated broadly.

“…Parental risk factors highlighted include parental age, education level, socioeconomic status, parenting stress, and parenting perceptions (Azar & Wolfe, 1998;Black, Heyman, & Smith-Slep, 2001). In particular, the social information processing model (Milner, 1993(Milner, , 2000(Milner, , 2003 considers child physical abuse as an extreme manifestation of parenting problems and focuses on high levels of parenting stress and negative perceptions of children's behavior as precursors of child physical maltreatment (see, for reviews, Ammerman, 1990;Azar, 1997Azar, , 1998Azar, , 2002Becker-Lausen & Mallon-Kraft, 1997;Milner, 1986Milner, , 1993. In effect, studies illustrate that maltreating parents, compared with nonabusive and low-risk parents, have higher levels of parenting stress (Holden & Banez, 1996;Sprang, Clark, & Bass, 2005;Whipple & Webster-Stratton, 1991).…”

Validation of the Child Abuse Potential Inventory in Italy

2015

The aim of this study was to provide preliminary findings on the reliability and the validity of the Italian Child Abuse Potential (CAP) Inventory, a screening tool that measures parents’ potential for child physical abuse. The CAP Inventory and measures on parenting stress (Parenting Stress Index–Short Form [PSI-SF]) and parents’ perceptions of child adjustment (Child Behavior Checklist [CBCL]) were administered in a nonclinical sample of Italian parents ( N = 551) with a 2- to 6-year-old child. The Abuse scale showed adequate internal consistency (α = .87), with significantly negative correlations between socioeconomic status and educational level of the parents. Also, the Abuse scale scores were significantly predicted by high levels of parenting stress and by parental negative perceptions of the child’s behavior. Finally, using a cut score for the English version of the Abuse scale (where 95% of parents would be expected to be classified), 93.8% of Italian parents were classified as nonabusive by the Abuse scale. These results supported the cross-cultural generalizability of the Abuse scale. However, complementary studies with abusive samples are needed to verify the ability of the instrument to discriminate between abusive and nonabusive parents also in the Italian population.

“…Reductions in family support could also be attributed to the debilitating effects of victimization on social competencies. Although scant research has explicitly examined the impact of childhood victimization on subsequent family support, there is reason to expect that reductions in ability to cultivate future supportive relationships produced by victimization extend to lasting familial relations (Becker-Lausen & Mallon-Kraft, 1997). Perhaps an even better explanation, though, is that families are often the source of violence to which children are exposed.…”
