Adverse childhood experiences and current depressive symptoms were examined as risk factors negatively affecting parenting outcomes and partner support was explored as a protective factor. A community sample of 60 CSA mothers completed a questionnaire assessing severity of childhood abuse, bond with their mothers, current depressive symptoms, partner support, the survivor-child bond, and key parenting behaviors. Severity of abuse indirectly impacted all parenting dimensions through depressive symptoms The degree of maternal control experienced by the survivor influenced her bond with her child and promotion of her child’s autonomy. The survivor’s current depressive symptoms enhanced the risk for problems in all three parenting dimensions. Partner support predicted her bond with her child and her ability to set limits. Implications for the treatment of CSA are discussed. 2011-07-28 English text Miami University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1311371008 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1311371008 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
