TY - JOUR PY - 1993// TI - Mothers of sexually abused children: trauma and repair in longitudinal perspective JO - American journal of orthopsychiatry A1 - Newberger, C. M. A1 - Gremy, I. M. A1 - Waternaux, C. M. A1 - Newberger, Eli H. SP - 92 EP - 102 VL - 63 IS - 1 N2 - Mothers whose children had been sexually abused reported experiencing serious psychological symptoms following disclosure of the abuse. Over a one-year period, their emotional status improved. Strong relationships between mothers' reports of their own and their children's symptoms were accompanied by persistent discrepancies between maternal and direct assessments of the children's emotional states. Findings suggest that addressing maternal distress is important to the study and treatment of child sexual abuse.
