Mental Representations of Physically and Sexually Abused Latency-Aged Females.
Stovall, Gavin; Craig, Robert J.
Child Abuse and Neglect: The International Journal, v14 n2 p233-42 1990
This study found that, although the mental representations of 20 sexually abused and 20 physically abused females (ages 7-12) did not differ, the internal images of the abused groups differed from images of 20 nonabused but distressed children. Thus it is abuse, and not simply family distress, that results in impaired object relations. (Author/JDD)
