Abstract

A scale (Diagnostic Scale for Incest Survivors: DSIS) was developed for adult women who experienced incest during childhood. Items were obtained from research on post-traumatic stress, personality disorders, standard psychiatric categories, and clinical observations. The scale was administered to a sample of Australian women and was found to possess satisfactory reliability and validity.
