Abstract:
Since there is scarcity of psychological research on lesbian, gay, and bisexual persons (LGB) in Croatia, we aimed to collect first information about the prevalence of psychiatric disorders, psychosocial characteristics and factors related to those issues in LGB adults living there. We focused on bulimia nervosa, binge eating, alcohol abuse, major depressive disorder, other depressive syndromes, panic syndrome, and other anxiety syndromes and somatoform syndrome. Psychosocial information was also gathered and included details about abuse, being out, sexually risky behavior, employment, education, socio-economic status, relationships status and sociodemographic characteristics. According to research, 39% of LGB persons were unemployed and 52.2% were abused. Alcohol abuse is high among all subgroups. Women are prone to somatoform symptoms and alcohol abuse. Since there is insufficient research on the problems of Croatian LGB persons, our results show that there is a real need for regular screening for psychopathology in Croatian homosexual and bisexual persons and for preventive interventions.

Abstract:
Emotional abuse is coercive control and expressive aggressive behaviour which involve degrading behaviour such as insults and name-calling between two parties. The issue of emotional abuse in romantic relationship was studied due to limited existing studies and there is a lack of evidence on the occurrence of emotional abuse among students especially in local contexts. This study was conducted to examine the effects of psychosocial factors (five-factor personality traits, loneliness and parenting style) towards emotional abuse among university students in Malaysia who have been in romantic relationships for at least three months. The data of this study was collected through a quantitative method using survey approach. Malay version of Emotional Abuse Quenstionnaire, Big Five Inventory (BFI-10), Revised UCLA Loneliness Scale and Scale of Parenting Style were used in this study. A total number of 273 university students had participated in this study. Multiple linear analysis was used to identify the effects of psychosocial factors on emotional abuse. The results showed that the prevalence of university students in Malaysia experiencing emotional abuse is still at low level. Regression analysis showed that two psychosocial factors, conscientiousness personality trait and responsive parenting style had significant relationships with emotional abuse. The results of this study are significant in understanding the underlying psychosocial factors for emotional abuse. Such understanding is vital to inculcate awareness which act as proactive measures in avoiding oneself from being an emotional abuse victim.

Abstract:
BackgroundCortisol levels may be altered in childhood in association with maltreatment (neglect, abuse and witnessing abuse) and other adversities, yet little is known about whether effects on cortisol persist into later life.AimsTo establish whether childhood psychosocial adversities predict cortisol levels in mid-adulthood.MethodChildhood psychosocial adversities were ascertained in the 1958 British birth cohort and cortisol was measured in two saliva samples, one 45 min after awaking (T1) and the other 3 h later the same day (T2), from 6524 participants aged 45 years.ResultsNo association was seen for abuse or household dysfunction in childhood and adult cortisol levels. In women but not men,T1cortisol was lowered by 7.9% per unit increase in childhood neglect score (range 0–3);T1toT2cortisol decline was less steep. High levels of maltreatment (abuse, neglect, witnessed abuse) were associated with >25% lowerT1cortisol in both men and women, and 24% higherT2cortisol for men after adjustment for concurrent depressive/anxiety symptoms.ConclusionsIn a non-clinical population, cumulative maltreatments in childhood were associated with flattened morning cortisol secretion in mid-adult life.

Abstract:
BackgroundPrevious studies of childhood psychosocial adversity and age at menarche mostly evaluated single or a few measures of adversity, and therefore could not quantify total psychosocial adversity. Limited knowledge is currently available regarding childhood psychosocial adversity in relation to age at menopause and reproductive lifespan.MethodsWe examined the associations of total and specific components of childhood psychosocial adversity with age at menarche (n=8984), age at menopause (n=945), and length of reproductive lifespan (n=841), in mothers participating in the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children. We used confirmatory factor analysis to characterise lack of care, maladaptive family functioning, non-sexual abuse, overprotective parenting, parental mental illness and sexual abuse. These specific components of childhood psychosocial adversity were combined into a total psychosocial adversity score using a second-order factor analysis. We used structural equation models to simultaneously conduct the factor analysis and estimate the association with the continuous outcomes of interest.ResultsTotal childhood psychosocial adversity was not associated with age at menarche, age at menopause or length of reproductive lifespan. When we examined the separate psychosocial adversity constructs, sexual abuse was inversely associated with age at menarche, with a mean difference of −0.17 (95% CI −0.23 to −0.12) years per SD higher factor score, and with age at menopause, with a mean difference of −0.17 (95% CI −0.52 to 0.18) per SD higher factor score.ConclusionChildhood sexual abuse was associated with lower age at menarche and menopause, but the latter needs to be confirmed in larger samples.

Abstract:
Domestic violence is passed from one generation to the next, and it affects not only the victim but also the psychological states of the witnesses, and especially the psychosocial development of children. Studies have reported that those who have been the victim of or witnessing violence during their childhood will use violence to a greater extent as adults in their own families. This research examines the relationships between a history of childhood physical abuse, likelihood of psychiatric diagnoses, and potential for being a perpetrator of childhood physical abuse in adulthood among women who received psychiatric treatment and in the healthy population from Turkey. Estimates of the prevalence of childhood physical abuse vary depending on definition and setting. The frequency of witnessing and undergoing physical abuse within the family during childhood is much higher in the psychiatrically disordered group than the healthy controls. Childhood physical abuse history is one of the major risk factors for being an abuser in adulthood. The best indicator of physically abusing one’s own children was found to be as physical abuse during the childhood period rather than psychiatric diagnosis. There is a large body of research indicating that adults who have been abused as children are more likely to abuse their own children than adults without this history. This is an important study from the point of view that consequences of violence can span generations. Further studies with different risk factor and populations will help to identify different dimensions of the problem.

Abstract:
Although academically underexplored, economic abuse is common in most societies. Using data collected from 2,289 ever-married Ghanaian women, this study employed regression techniques to examine dimensions of economic abuse (employment sabotage, economic exploitation, and economic deprivation) on the cardiovascular, psychosocial, and overall general health of respondents. Results showed respondents with experiences of economic sabotage had poor psychosocial health. Meanwhile, compared with those with no such experiences, respondents with experiences of economic exploitation not only reported poor psychosocial health but were also more likely to live with cardiovascular diseases. Women with experiences of economic deprivation reported poor psychosocial health, were more likely to live with cardiovascular diseases, and more likely to report poor or good than very good health. Our findings suggest the need to screen for economic abuse as a correlate of poor health among women in Ghana.

Abstract:
This research entitled Child Abuse Experienced By The Main Character In Rainbow Rowell’s Eleanor And Park: A Psychosocial Analysis. Eleanor and Park was a coming-of-age novel written by Rainbow Rowell. Eleanor, one of the main characters, had a lot of things going on in her life, she lived in poverty and had to deal with child abuse everyday. This research was aimed to identify what kind of abuse Eleanor experienced and to analyze how the abuse affected Eleanor’s psychosocial development. This research was classified into a qualitative research. The data were taken from the novel Eleanor and Park written by Rainbow Rowell. In analyzing the data, the researcher applied four out of eight stages of psychosocial development theory by Erik H. Erikson while trying to classify different types of abuse that Eleanor experienced. The data were in descriptive form which was why the analysis is enlighten by the researcher in descriptive way. The result of this research showed that Eleanor had troubles passing psychosocial development stages due to what she had been through in her home life. She might succeed in Early Childhood stage but since living with her step-father, Richie, and receiving many types of child abuse from him such as physical abuse, sexual abuse, psychological abuse and child neglect, she failed to pass three later the stages. In consequence, she grew many unhealthy personalities and getting more distant with people in society. Nonetheless, ever since she met Park, she changed to be a better person, although it took her some time. The story ended without the researcher knowing if she passes the adolescence stage successfully. Therefore, there was still possibility for her to pass later stages well and be a healthy individual.

Abstract:
Objective. To identify adverse behavioral and psychological factors associated with forced sex experiences of adolescent girls compared with their sexually active counterparts. Method. An anonymous self-report survey examining an array of psychosocial items, to which 3124 grade 8 and grade 10 female students responded. Results. Sexually abused girls were more likely to have been pregnant, to have initiated sexual intercourse at a younger age, to indicate illegal drug use, to have feelings of depression, to express more frequent suicidal ideation, and to have been physically abused. Conclusions. Behaviors such as gateway drug use, truancy, binge drinking of alcohol, and participation in violent episodes that were previously identified as indicators of sexual abuse did not distinguish between sexually active adolescents and those who had been sexually abused. Physicians should consider carefully a structured series of questions relating to behaviors as one approach in determining the risk of sexual abuse. Positive responses to young sexual initiation, pregnancy, illegal drug use, negative mental health states, and evidence of physical abuse are potential markers of sexual abuse in adolescent female clients.

Abstract:
Resumo: Este artigo trata de uma pesquisa de revisão de literatura e procura analisar a forma como o atendimento psicossocial à vítima de abuso sexual infantojuvenil tem sido efetivado no Brasil, entre os anos de 2010 a 2020. Para tanto, foi realizado um levantamento bibliográfico com a utilização de cinco descritores, nos principais bancos de dados: PepSIC, Scielo, Google, BDTD, Bireme, Medline, BVC - Psi Brasil, BDTD da USP. Assim, 11 artigos foram selecionados para a pesquisa. Os resultados apontaram que há poucas produções científicas sobre a temática; embora a discussão midiática e acadêmica acerca do fenômeno do abuso sexual seja abundante, referente ao atendimento psicológico/psicossocial à vítima desvelou-se um debate insólito. O acompanhamento psicossocial a longo prazo e imediatamente após a violência não sucede. Não há continuidade dos atendimentos. Tal fato fundamenta-se na premissa de que o atendimento no âmbito do Sistema Único de Assistência Social (SUAS) deve ter caráter pontual e limitado. Portanto, conclui-se que o acolhimento psicossocial às vítimas, devido à escassez ou inexistência de serviços públicos, ocorre de forma pouco humanizada e negligente, situações que contribuem diretamente para a ampliação das dores emocionais advindas de um abuso sexual. É necessária a melhoria dos serviços públicos que assistem a vítima de abuso sexual em todas as suas facetas, uma vez que se mostram contraproducentes e destoantes. Palavras-chave: Abuso sexual. Psicologia. Sofrimento. Políticas públicas.Abstract: This article deals with a systematic literature review research and seeks to analyze the way in which psychosocial care for victims of child and adolescent sexual abuse has been carried out in Brazil, between the years 2010 to 2020. For this purpose, a bibliographic survey was carried out. using five descriptors in the main databases: PepSIC, Scielo, Google, BDTD, Bireme, Medline, BVC - Psi Brasil, BDTD from USP. Thus, 11 articles were selected for the research. Results pointed out that the host network has not been efficient, since the attendance occurs late and, in some cases, does not succeed. There are few scientific productions on the subject, although the media and academic discussion about the sexual abuse phenomenon is abundant, referring to to the psychological / psychosocial assistance to the victim, an unusual debate was unveiled. Long-term psychosocial follow-up and immediately after the violence does not take place. There is no continuity of care. This fact is based on the premise that care within the scope of the Unified Social Assistance System (SUAS) must have a punctual and limited character. Therefore, it is concluded that the psychosocial reception to the victims, due to the scarcity or inexistence of public services, occurs in a little humanized and negligent way, situations that directly contribute to the expansion of the emotional pains resulting from sexual abuse. It is necessary to improve the public services that assist the victim of sexual abuse in all its facets, since they are counterproductive and disagreeable.Keywords: Sexual abuse. Psychology.

Abstract:
Objective: Physical abuse is one of the most important public health problems, but little is known about physical abuse of cancer patients. The objects of this study are (1) to identify whether cancer patients have sustained physical abuse; (2) to explore clinical characteristics of the abused patients.Methods: We reviewed 584 cancer patients referred to our psychiatry clinic by a cancer center hospital and investigated whether there were victims of physical abuse among these patients. We also investigated psychiatric characteristics of the abused patients.Results: Of these 584 patients, three patients were recognized as victims of physical abuse at the time of referral. The perpetrator of physical abuse was their husband (domestic violence) in all three cases. All three patients had sustained physical abuse from their husbands for years before being diagnosed with cancer. In addition to physical abuse, all three patients had sustained emotional abuse (e.g., threat or intimidation) from their husbands. Psychiatric diagnoses of all three patients fulfilled the DSM-IV criteria for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and the traumatic event was mainly physical abuse by their husbands.Significance of results: Oncologists and psychiatrists should pay greater attention to the psychosocial and environmental problems of cancer patients and inquire about the presence of physical abuse in suspected cases. Medical staff should also know that early multidisciplinary interventions in addition to cancer treatments are needed for victims of physical abuse among cancer patients and that these interventions are necessary to improve compliance with treatment and proper decision making.

Abstract:
Extrafamilial sexual abuse experiences of young adolescents (ages 10–14), particularly young teen boys, are not well studied. This retrospective chart review study compared psychosocial correlates and victimization experiences between young adolescent girls ( n = 226) and boys ( n = 64) referred to a hospital child advocacy center. Several differences in risk behaviors and abuse experiences were found: Girls were more likely to have run away, to be truant from school, to report substance use, to have multiple perpetrators, and to have physical findings from the abuse. Boys were more likely to have a diagnosis of attention deficit disorder and to report anal penetration, and rarely disclosed abuse at the time of the incident. Peers were girls’ most common choice for disclosing abuse, whereas boys confided most often in their mothers or other adults. These findings suggest sexually abused young adolescent girls and boys need distinct, developmentally appropriate screening and care in school and health care settings.

Abstract:
Screening for psychosocial risk factors has been limited by lack of a structured approach. The purpose of this study was to assess the utility of a self-administered questionnaire compared with routine history as recorded in the medical record in screening for risk factors for dysfunctional parenting in an urban pediatric clinic. English-speaking parents were offered questionnaires in the waiting room. In addition to routine demographic and medical questions, the questionnaries contained standard screening instruments for substance abuse, depression, self-esteem, and social support, as well as questions about domestic violence, homelessness, and parental history of abuse as a child. Medical records were reviewed separately. Of the 114 mothers who returned questionnaires, the response rate for sensitive questions such as income was ≥85%. Compared with the medical record, the questionnaire identified significantly more mothers with possible substance abuse, depression, low self-esteem, and/or history of abuse as a child (P < .01 for each). Compared with what is usually recorded in the medical record, self-administered questionnaires yield substantial additional information regarding psychosocial risk factors for dysfunctional parenting. Such questionnaires should be considered for routine psychosocial screening in clinics serving high-risk populations.

Abstract:
Abstract Financial exploitation (FE) in older adults is a significant public health problem linked to outcomes including depression, financial ruin and early mortality. This study applied exploratory data science techniques to a multi-year statewide protective services dataset of over 8,000 elder abuse cases. The goal was to derive data-driven psychosocial profiles of abuse with an emphasis on determining which factors, commonly shared across abuse cases, were most important for determining when elder FE was occurring and whether it was occurring alone or in conjunction with other types of abuse. We found that pronounced psychological distress (i.e. verbalizing suicide, homicide, self-harm) was most important for indicating when abuse had occurred and predicted non-FE related abuse. Drug paraphernalia in the home and perpetrator drug/alcohol use were important predictors of FE-related abuse. When differentiating pure FE from hybrid FE, factors indicative of long-term FE occurrence and substantial financial loss were most important (i.e. facing foreclosure, lack of food, medications, and utilities). The findings parallel some existing work characterizing pure and hybrid FE, but also highlight new profile factors that may help determine when FE is occurring and when it is less likely. Applying data science approaches to other large protective service datasets and national datasets such as the National Adult Maltreatment Registry could help improve characterization of abuse types such as pure and hybrid FE resulting in better detection, response and prevention.

Abstract:
Despite a widespread interest in the health of the gay community, the psychosocial and medical problems of gay and bisexual adolescents have not been adequately investigated. In this study, 29 gay and bisexual male teenagers participated in anonymous and confidential interviews regarding the impact of sexuality on family, employment, education, peers, intimate relationships, and physical and mental health. The majority of subjects experienced school problems related to sexuality, substance abuse, and/or emotional difficulties warranting mental health interventions. In addition, nearly half of the subjects reported a history of sexually transmitted diseases, running away from home, or conflict with the law. A minority had been victims of sexual assaults or involved in prostitution. Those less than 18 years of age experienced higher rates of psychiatric hospitalization, substance abuse, high school drop-out, and conflict with the law than did older participants. Various explanations for the prevalence of these problems and their implications for health professionals are discussed.

Abstract:
The risk factors that compound alcohol abuse by young people have significant effects of individuals. The sole purpose of social work is to enhance the social functioning of clients and in most cases, clients have impairments as the result of high density of alcohol outlets, affordability of alcohol, which later give birth to psychosocial challenges. The aim of this study is to describe psychosocial and demographic factors compounding alcohol abuse amongst youth. The study employed quantitative approach and descriptive case study design. Data was collected at Musina High School and 96 learners were sampled using stratified sampling to complete the questionnaire. Data was analysed descriptively with the aid of Statistical Package for the Social Science. The study revealed that psychosocial and environmental factors compound to alcohol abuse amongst youth in Musina High School. The study concludes that the context determines the excessive use of alcohol abuse by youth. Young people especially those who reside in rural areas are exposed to high density of alcohol outlets and they are left without guardianship. Due to lack of guardian or parental involvement they end up indulging in excessive use of alcohol.

Abstract:
This paper intended to give a conceptual framework in order to prevent adolescent from drug abuse by using a developmental approach. Search for identity is one aspect of psychosocial development which very crucial in periods of adolescence and most developmentalist which agree that healthy or unhealthy personality developmental be attributable to the process of search for identity. Most developmentalist have a belief that adolescents achieve a sense of identity tend to demonstrate a healthy and constructive behavior, while failing achieve becoming vulnerable to various forms of psychosocial disturbance, one of which drug abuse. Therefor, to prevent teenagers from drug abuse we can do with helping them to achieve a sense of identity.

Abstract:
The main purpose of the current study was to evaluate the relationship between early abusive experiences (sexual abuse, parental violence, and witnessing parental violence) and subsequent couple adjustment with a theoretical model that incorporates attachment and psychological distress as mediator variables. We specifically examined the variability in long-term psychosocial characteristics of child abuse survivors across women and men. A representative sample of French-Canadian couples composed of 632 men and women completed measures of child abuse, attachment, psychological distress, and dyadic adjustment. Structural equation analyses showed that, for both women and men, sexual abuse was related to dyadic adjustment through anxiety about abandonment and psychological distress. For men, experiencing physical or psychological violence was associated with dyadic adjustment through psychological distress. For women, there was an indirect relationship between witnessing physical violence and dyadic adjustment through abandonment anxiety. Differences between men and women in the long-term adjustment to childhood sexual abuse were small and not consistent with a gender-specific model of psychosocial repercussions.

Abstract:
To state that the specialty of pediatrics has undergone changes in the past 25 years would be a monumental understatement. New therapies and new diseases, as well as new societal ways of looking at children's needs, have stressed both training programs and practice. In the early 1960s, C. Henry Kempe shocked the pediatric world by defining the problem of child abuse. In the intervening time, leaders in the field of pediatrics have stressed the need to add more experience in recognizing and managing psychosocial problems of children to our training programs. In 1975, Dr Robert V. Haggerty and his colleagues formulated the concept of "the new morbidity" referring to the multiple psychosocial problems confronting children in our society.

Abstract:
Intimate partner violence (IPV) exposure can increase alcohol use. Although African Americans use less alcohol compared with European Americans, African American women experience disparate rates of IPV, potentially intensifying their alcohol abuse. We used data from 171 African American women to test if IPV was related to alcohol abuse and if psychosocial factors—loneliness, embarrassment, fear of harm, hope, social support, childcare needs, and finances—mediated this link. IPV and alcohol abuse were related, and several factors were related to either IPV or alcohol abuse. Social support was related to both, and it mediated the IPV–alcohol abuse link, explaining women’s alcohol abuse relating to IPV.

Abstract:
Various psychological theories exist in the literature to explain the behavior of men who commit child sex offences, including the belief that child sexual abuse (CSA) is a predisposing factor for the transition from victim to offender. These theories are, however, unable to explain the fact that while most victims of CSA are female, most perpetrators of CSA are male. The sex specificity of CSA in terms of victims and offenders suggests that the experience of CSA and its psychosocial effects may be different for boys, compared to girls. We hypothesize that CSA experiences may involve risk factors that affect the development of sexually abusive behavior for boys, rather than girls. Our aim was to determine whether the literature provides evidence of a cycle of abuse from victim to offender, and, if so, to document its characteristics. We undertook a comprehensive literature review of studies on both victims and offenders, including studies which revealed the following: age of onset of CSA, duration of abuse, gender of the abuser, the relationship between victim and abuser, grooming behaviors, the types and severity of abuse, and disclosure of abuse. While we found no evidence for the existence of a cycle of abuse for female CSA victims, we discovered evidence to support the existence of a cycle of abuse for male CSA victims who had experienced particular abuse characteristics. As an original contribution to the literature, we identified four factors that may be associated with a boy’s transition from victim to offender as well as the methodological issues to be addressed in future research. Based on criminological theories, we argue that these four factors share a common theme, that is, that they represent experiences of power (for the abuser) and powerlessness (for the victim).

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate psychosocial adjustment and psychopathology among men sexually abused during their childhood and arrive at a better understanding of the reasons for which, following such sexual experiences, some adult males manifest greater distress than others. In total, 64 participants were interviewed and completed eight questionnaires covering various aspects of childhood and adult life. Results suggest the existence of three types of sexual abuse scenarios. Participants in each of these three groups presented with an adult-specific adjustment. However, the methodology and multivariate analyses used in this study suggest that some of these problems were not only associated with the sexual contacts but also with other childhood experiences and with the participant's cognitive, affective, and psychological resources.

Abstract:
This article examines gender differences in treatment engagement, psychosocial variables, and criminal thinking among a sample of male and female substance abusers ( N = 2,774) enrolled in 20 prison-based treatment programs in five different states as part of the National Institute on Drug Abuse—funded Criminal Justice Drug Abuse Treatment Studies cooperative agreement. Results indicate that inmates in female treatment programs report more psychosocial dysfunction, less criminal thinking, and higher engagement than in male facilities, and there is a more negative relationship between psychosocial variables and treatment engagement (compared to male programs). Only one subscale of criminal thinking had a significant gender interaction, with males having a significantly stronger relationship between cold-heartedness and low treatment engagement. Implications for treatment interventions with a gender-specific focus are discussed.
