TY - JOUR PY - 1994// TI - The interpersonal and psychological functioning of women who experienced childhood physical abuse, incest, and parental alcoholism JO - Child abuse and neglect A1 - Fox, K. M. A1 - Gilbert, B. O. SP - 849 EP - 858 VL - 18 IS - 10 N2 - Questionnaires assessing childhood physical abuse (CPA), childhood incest (CI), and parental alcoholism (ACOA) were completed by 253 college women from introductory psychology classes at a large midwestern university. The relationship between these variables and the level of depression, self-esteem and involvement with physically abusive, sexually assaultive, sexually coercive, and chemically dependent partners was assessed. Support was found for an additive model of trauma that predicted a relationship between number of childhood traumas and adult outcomes. Limited support was found for a specificity model of trauma that predicted that specific childhood trauma would be predictive of parallel negative adult outcomes.
