Adult Survivors of Childhood Abuse: An Analysis of Coping Mechanisms Used for Stressful Childhood Memories and Current Stressors
Journal of Family Violence, 2003Co-Authors: Kristine T. Futa, Cindy L. Nash, David J. Hansen, Calvin P. GarbinAbstract:Coping mechanisms used to deal with stressful Childhood memories and current Stressors were assessed for 196 women in each of 4 groups: no abuse history, sexual abuse history, physical abuse history, and both sexual and physical abuse history. Current psychological adjustment was also examined. Discriminant function analyses revealed a variety of significant differences between the groups in use of strategies for coping with memories of abuse or another Childhood Stressor. There was no relationship between Childhood history of abuse and the manner in which women coped with a current Stressor. Women with an abuse history reported significantly poorer adult adjustment than did nonabused women, and different coping strategies were predictive of adjustment for abused and nonabused women.

Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs, 1997Co-Authors: Kenneth J. Sher, Beth S. Gershuny, Lizette Peterson, Gail RaskinAbstract:Objective: This study examined relations between Childhood Stressors (e.g., disrupted family rituals, embarrassment, neglect, abuse), family history of paternal alcoholism, and alcohol use disorders in late adolescence and early adulthood. Of particular interest was the extent to which Stressor exposure mediated the association between paternal and offspring alcohol use disorders. Method: A mixed-gender sample of 457 (238 female) participants, approximately half (N = 234) with a family history of paternal alcoholism, were assessed for alcohol use disorders and Childhood Stressors via clinical interviews. Results: Family history of paternal alcoholism was associated with every Childhood Stressor examined, often strongly. In addition, a number of Childhood Stressors (e.g., verbal, emotional, physical and sexual abuse) were related to an alcohol use disorder in late adolescence/early adulthood.
