Using Sleep Dysfunction To Explore the Nature of Resilience in Adult Survivors of Childhood Abuse or Trauma.

Chambers, Elisha; Belicki, Kathy

Child Abuse & Neglect: The International Journal, v22 n8 p753-58 Aug 1998

A study of 97 adults found that 53 reported experiencing one or more types of trauma or abuse in childhood. As a group they scored more negatively than those reporting no abuse on measures of sleep dysfunction. Resilient characteristics were only related to measures of social-behavioral functioning, not well-being. (Author/CR)
