TY - JOUR PY - 2012// TI - Parenting in females exposed to intimate partner violence and childhood sexual abuse JO - Journal of child sexual abuse A1 - Jaffe, Anna E. A1 - Cranston, Christopher C. A1 - Shadlow, Joanna O. SP - 684 EP - 700 VL - 21 IS - 6 N2 - Child sexual abuse and intimate partner violence may have a significant impact on parenting. The current study expands on existing research by examining the effects of child sexual abuse and intimate partner violence on parenting styles and parenting self-efficacy. In women from a parenting intervention program (nā=ā20), child sexual abuse was related to lower parenting self-efficacy and more permissive parenting. In women at a domestic violence shelter (nā=ā45), child sexual abuse was related to current sexual coercion of the partner, and authoritative parenting was related to higher parenting self-efficacy. These results indicate that having a history of child sexual abuse should be taken into consideration when dealing with mothers in violent relationships.
