Research on the Long-Term Effects of Child AbuseIdaho State University
Idaho State University This review explores recent quantitative and qualitative studies of the long-term effects of child abuse, specifically, how abuse in child-hood affects adulthood. There is a plethora of studies that examine the effects of abuse on children and adolescents, but the long-term effects of abuse have received less attention. Many studies associate various forms of abuse experienced in childhood with a wide range of psychological, behavioral, and relational problems in adulthood. The articles reviewed may inform marriage and family counselors about the effects in adulthood of abuse experienced in childhood.
