Sexual abuse trauma among professional women: validating the Trauma Symptom Checklist (TSC-40)

Article Abstract:

The usefulness of the Trauma Symptom Checklist (TSC-40) in measuring the long-term psychological effects of child sexual abuse in professional women is tested. The TSC-40 scale is found to be reliable and distinguishes with accuracy between sexually abused and non-abused subjects. Molested women report more anxiety, depression, dissociation, sexual problems, sleep disturbance and post-traumatic symptoms. Most are also likely to end up being divorced.
