Parental compliance to court-ordered assessment was examined in 82 mothers whose children had been removed from the home due to child maltreatment. Compliant (n = 52) and Noncompliant (n = 30) mothers were compared on parental and psychosocial risk factors previously documented in child maltreatment research. The results indicate that noncompliant mothers tend to be younger, lead more transient lifestyles, show a greater degree of antisocial behavior, and experience more violence in their spousal relationships. The implications of these data for clinical and legal involvement with these families is discussed.
对82名母亲遵守法庭命令进行评估的情况进行了调查，这些母亲的孩子因遭受虐待而被带离家庭。将遵守命令的母亲（n = 52）和不遵守命令的母亲（n = 30）在先前儿童虐待研究中记录的父母和心理社会风险因素方面进行了比较。结果表明，不遵守命令的母亲往往更年轻，生活方式更不稳定，表现出更大程度的反社会行为，并且在配偶关系中经历更多暴力。讨论了这些数据对这些家庭的临床和法律干预的影响。
