This study was conducted in a sample of 122 adult clinical subjects who suffered sexual abuse in childhood.

RESULTS showed a positive relationship between SA and EA, and a negative relationship between SA and EN. Additionally, the EMSs and emotional deprivation, abuse, failure, social isolation, and vulnerability to harm parenting styles were related to each other and were positively related to EA and negatively related to EN. Finally, emotional deprivation, abuse, defectiveness, and failure parenting styles total and partially mediated in the relationship of EA and EN with EMSs. The present study brings further knowledge to the field regarding traumatic experiences in childhood and how they are related to EMSs and parenting styles.
