METHODS: Lifetime DSM-III-R and IV psychiatric diagnoses were obtained for 53 maltreating families, including at least one primary caregiver and one proband maltreated child or adolescent subject (28 males, 25 females), and for a comparison group of 46 sociodemographically, similar nonmaltreating families, including one proband healthy child and adolescent subject (22 males, 22 females). RESULTS: Mothers of maltreated children exhibited a significantly greater lifetime incidence of anxiety disorders (especially post-traumatic stress disorder), mood disorders, alcohol and/or substance abuse or dependence disorder, suicide attempts, and comorbidity of two or more psychiatric disorders, compared to control mothers. Natural fathers or mothers' live-in mates involved in maltreatment exhibited a significantly greater lifetime incidence of an alcohol and/or substance abuse or dependence disorder compared to controls. The majority of maltreated children and adolescents reported anxiety disorders, especially post-traumatic stress disorder (from witnessing domestic violence and/or sexual abuse), mood disorders, suicidal ideation and attempts, and disruptive disorders. Most maltreated children (72%) suffered from comorbidity involving both emotional and behavioral regulation disorders. CONCLUSIONS: Families involved in maltreatment manifest significant histories of psychiatric comorbidity. Policies which target identification and treatment of comorbidity may contribute to breaking the intergenerational transmission of maltreatment.</style></abstract><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11523869</style></accession-num><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Bellis, M D&lt;br/&gt;Broussard, E R&lt;br/&gt;Herring, D J&lt;br/&gt;Wexler, S&lt;br/&gt;Moritz, G&lt;br/&gt;Benitez, J G&lt;br/&gt;eng&lt;br/&gt;5 K08 MHO1324-02/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/&lt;br/&gt;Research Support, U.S. Gov't, P.H.S.&lt;br/&gt;England&lt;br/&gt;2001/08/29 10:00&lt;br/&gt;Child Abuse Negl. 2001 Jul;25(7):923-44.</style></notes><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Department of Psychiatry, University of Pittsburgh, Medical Center, PA 15213, USA.</style></auth-address></record></records></xml>
