  • Title: Partner abuse among women whose children have been sexually abused: an exploratory study.
    Author: Hiebert-Murphy D.
    Journal: J Child Sex Abus; 2001; 10(1):109-18. PubMed ID: 16221623.
    Abstract:
    To explore partner abuse among women in families in which a child has disclosed child sexual abuse, 102 mothers completed a measure of partner abuse and the Coping Responses Inventory. Results suggest that, like women in the general population, mothers of children who have been sexually abused have often experienced partner abuse. As expected, physical abuse in a current relationship was found to be related to the use of avoidance strategies in dealing with the sexual abuse disclosure. The implications for practitioners and for future research are discussed.
