这项研究调查了无犯罪行为的母亲的童年历史和当前功能对 68 名遭受性虐待女孩的心理状态和安置决定的影响。母亲的虐待史和/或不良的童年依恋关系与当前母亲的药物滥用显着相关。母亲的药物滥用和对社会支持的不满与母亲对孩子缺乏支持和更多的虐待事件密切相关，而这反过来又与更多的性虐待相关症状和寄养安置有关。研究结果与表明虐待的代际传播并非不可避免的研究一致，并表明母亲药物滥用和社会孤立是母亲性虐待史和对受虐待儿童的反应之间的重要中介变量。研究结果表明，针对非犯罪母亲的干预措施对于减少性虐待后儿童功能障碍和安置寄养可能很重要。
This study investigated the impact of the nonoffending mother's childhood history and current functioning upon the psychological status and placement decisions for 68 sexually abused girls. Maternal history of abuse and/or poor childhood attachment relationships were significantly related to current maternal substance abuse. Maternal substance abuse and dissatisfaction with social support were significantly associated with lack of maternal support to the child and more abuse incidents, which in turn were related to more sexual abuse-related symptomatology and placement in foster care. The findings are congruent with studies indicating that intergenerational transmission of abuse is not inevitable, and suggest that maternal substance abuse and social isolation are important mediating variables between maternal history of sexual abuse and response to the abused child. The findings suggest that interventions targeted to the nonoffending mothers may be important in reducing child dysfunction and placement in foster care in the aftermath of sexual abuse.
