The relationship between reported unwanted sexual experiences (USE) and psychological disturbance is now widely recognized. However, the factors that mediate between USE and psychopathology are not adequately understood. One factor that has been suggested to be important is the way in which any attempt at disclosure is received. This study investigates how different perceived responses to attempted disclosure of abuse are related to psychological function in a nonclinical sample. A perceived adverse response to disclosure was associated with greater levels of psychopathology, particularly oral control, dissociation, and self-denigration. Suggestions are made for further research, and the clinical implications of the findings are discussed.
报告的不良性经历(USE)与心理障碍之间的关系现已得到广泛认可。然而,介导USE与精神病理学之间的因素尚未得到充分理解。一个被认为很重要的因素是对任何披露尝试的接受方式。本研究调查了在非临床样本中,对虐待披露尝试的不同感知反应如何与心理功能相关。对披露的感知不良反应与更高水平的精神病理学相关,尤其是口腔控制、解离和自我贬低。文中提出了进一步研究的建议,并讨论了研究结果的临床意义。
