PTSD Linked to Family Violence
Here is another study adding to the literature documenting the correlation between family violence and PTSD. The study has its limits, but is in line with other recent research.
Children and Domestic Violence
The latest of the Journal of Interpersonal Violence has a fascinating study about the effect of domestic violence on children. It included a small sample, and needs to be replicated, but it is the first major study to look at the effect of the relationship between a child who witnesses domestic violence and the perpetrator. It found no significant difference in regard to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, but found that children with multiple father figures showed significantly more troublesome behaviors.
