Parental Bonding and Current Psychological Functioning among Childhood Sexual Abuse Survivors.

Schreiber, Roxanne; Lyddon, William J.

Journal of Counseling Psychology, v45 n3 p358-62 Jul 1998

The relationship between perceived parental bonding to maternal and paternal primary caregivers and current psychological functioning was examined among adult female sexual abuse survivors (N=78). Although overall poorer adjustment was found, high paternal care was significantly associated with better psychological functioning. Data are discussed in the context of attachment theory.
