N2  - This study examined the possibility that mental health problems which may result from sexual abuse are exacerbated by a confusion of family roles in the victim's perception of the family of origin. A sample of 234 undergraduate students completed a questionnaire. Analyses confirmed associations between (1) perceived sexual abuse and indicators of mental health problems, (2) confusion of family roles and perceived sexual abuse, and (3) mental health problems and confusion of family roles. A good prediction of the occurrence of mental health problems could only be obtained if both perceived sexual abuse and the confusion of family roles were considered.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
