TY - JOUR PY - 2003// TI - Coping with Incest: The Relationship Between Recollections of Childhood Coping and Adult Functioning in Female Survivors of Incest JO - Journal of Traumatic Stress A1 - Brand, Bethany L. A1 - Alexander, Pamela C. SP - 285 EP - 293 VL - 16 IS - 3 N2 - One hundred and one adult female survivors' recollections of coping with childhood incest, abuse characteristics, and current functioning in adulthood were studied. Analyses controlling for characteristics of the trauma indicated that recollections of using avoidance coping and seeking social support were related to poor adult functioning whereas recollections of using distancing coping were related to better functioning. As a set of variables, abuse characteristics also predicted a significant amount of variance in adult functioning. Implications for future research were discussed.
