  • Title: Parent--child relationship and mother's sexual assault history.
    Author: Reid-Cunningham AR.
    Journal: Violence Against Women; 2009 Aug; 15(8):920-32. PubMed ID: 19509321.
    Abstract:
    Although there is clinical conjecture regarding the effects of maternal trauma on parent- child relationships, research is scarce and this area remains to be explored. In a domestic violence sample, there was significant reduction in quality of parent-child relationships when the mother had experienced sexual assault or rape during adulthood. There was no correlation between the mother's history of childhood sexual assault or rape and parent-child relationship. Survivors of sexual assault may be best served through interventions that utilize relational models. Family-based interventions may be particularly effective in addressing problems in parent-child relationships stemming from the mother's trauma history.
