Abstract

276 treatment records of patients who were undergoing high-frequent, outpatient, individual, psychoanalytic therapy were analysed with respect to the prevalence and patterns of childhood sexual abuse in the history of these patients. 22.8% of all patients experienced narrowly defined sexual abuse during childhood (the end of the 17th year); additionally, 35.2% of all patients reported minor forms of sexually abusive experiences. The gender distribution, the age at onset of sexual abuse, and the relationship to the perpetrator were analysed. Looking at psychoanalytic diagnoses, a significant correlation between a history of childhood sexual abuse and a diagnosis of hysterical neurosis was found.
