Liem, Joan H.; Boudewyn, Arne C.
Child Abuse & Neglect: The International Journal, v23 n11 p1141-57 Nov 1999
A survey of 687 undergraduates found the number of maltreatment and loss experiences in early childhood predicted greater child sexual abuse frequency in childhood and increased maltreatment in adulthood. Childhood maltreatment and loss experiences also predicted higher levels of depression and lower levels of self-esteem. (Author/CR)
