There is a growing clinical research interest in the long-term effects of victimization in childhood and the difficulty the victimized child may experience in adulthood. Examined are two case illustrations of individuals who were abused as children. The results of their dysfunctional childhood have yielded massive failures to cope and adjust to adult stress situations and have resulted in each case with the development of psychopathology that has impaired their adult lives. Issues and import for clinical practice and future research are discussed.
对于童年期受侵害的长期影响以及受侵害儿童在成年后可能经历的困难，临床研究的兴趣日益浓厚。本文审视了两名童年期受虐个体的案例。他们童年期功能失调的结果导致在应对和适应成人压力情境时屡屡失败，并在每个案例中都引发了精神病理学问题，损害了他们的成年生活。文中还讨论了对临床实践和未来研究的问题及重要性。
