Study Notes
Child Maltreatment and Health Exam Study
- Traumatic vs. Non-Traumatic Memories: Traumatic memories are often fragmented and dissociated, unlike non-traumatic memories, which are organized coherently. Van der Kolk & Fisler (1995) found this.
- Childhood Maltreatment and Adult Mental Health: The ACE study (Edwards et al., 2003) shows a dose-response relationship between the number of maltreatment types and adult mental health issues. The study found links to depression and anxiety.
- Resilience in Child Maltreatment: Collishaw et al. (2007) argued that supportive relationships can mitigate the effects of child maltreatment on adult psychopathology. Good relationships can reduce the negative mental health impacts.
- Physiological Consequences of Child Maltreatment: Shalev et al. (2013) found that childhood exposure to violence correlates with telomere erosion. Osborn & Widom (2020) reported that childhood maltreatment predicts higher levels of C-Reactive Protein, indicating chronic inflammation.
- Historical Understanding of Child Maltreatment: The understanding of child maltreatment has progressed since the 19th century. Key figures include Pierre Janet and Sigmund Freud. Kempe's (1962) introduction of Battered Child Syndrome was a pivotal moment in recognizing physical abuse.
- Child Abuse: Development of the Debate and Research: Henri Kempe defined the "battered child syndrome" in 1962. From the 1960s to the mid-1970s, sexual abuse was often excluded from discussions of child maltreatment. In the 1990s, discussions around child sexual abuse polarized.
- World Health Organisation (2016) Definition of Child Maltreatment: Child maltreatment includes all forms of physical or emotional ill-treatment, sexual abuse, neglect, negligence, and commercial or other exploitation of children under 18.
- Forms of Child Maltreatment: Physical, sexual, psychological/emotional and neglect are outlined.
- Child Maltreatment and Physical Health Outcomes: Wegman & Stetler (2009) reviewed the relationship between child maltreatment and physical health issues in adulthood. Emotional abuse is a particular risk factor for ischemic heart disease.
- Prevalence of Self-Reported Child Maltreatment (2015): The review includes statistics regarding sexual, physical, emotional abuse and neglect.
- Can Child Abuse be Forgotten?: Williams (1995) looked at recovered memories in women with documented child sexual victimisation histories. 62% recalled the victimisation. 16% who recalled had forgotten.
Child Maltreatment and Mental Health in Adulthood
- Child Maltreatment and Physical Health (Wegman & Stetler 2009): A meta-analysis of 24 studies implicated child abuse in increased risks of various physical health outcomes in adulthood. Neurological and musculoskeletal issues were among the most impacted.
- Impact of emotional abuse: It has a strong association with depression and anxiety (similar to the impact of exposure to various other forms of violence).
- Suicidal Behavior: Childhood abuse has significant links to suicidal behavior, showcasing the severity of its impact on mental well-being in adulthood.
- Childhood Trauma and Psychosis (Arsenault et al. 2011): Data from 2,127 twin pairs in Britain showed that bullying and maltreatment, when combined, were factors in a higher likelihood of emerging psychotic symptoms.
- Multiple Forms of Child Maltreatment (Edwards et al. 2003): The adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) study focused on multiple forms of child abuse and neglect, highlighting a dose-response relationship where increasing numbers of maltreatment types correlate with poorer mental health outcomes.
- Child Maltreatment and Resilience: Collishaw et al (2007) researched resilience to adult psychopathology in relation to childhood experiences and discovered that adults who developed positive and lasting relational experiences in their lives were less likely to develop mental health issues, even in the case of childhood maltreatment.
- Significant Gender Differences: Research suggests that maltreatment has a more profound impact on females regarding affective disorders, PTSD and alcohol abuse.
