Abstract Details

2004, Master of Arts, Miami University, Psychology.
This study explored the experiences of eight mothers who had a sexual abuse history through in-depth interviews. Three of the mothers had children who had also experienced sexual abuse, and the other five were mothers whose children had no known sexual abuse history. Goals of this study were to explore how a history of sexual abuse had affected parenting abilities and to study the differences in the narratives of these women. Narratives were analyzed and the degree to which their childhood experiences of sexual abuse were assimilated was assessed using the Assimilation Model (Stiles, 1999). Observations were consistent with the assimilation model's suggestion that participants whose children had not experienced sexual abuse reached higher stages on this scale. The mothers in this study who were seen as having integrated their abuse experiences shared and discussed their experiences of abuse with supportive people whom they trusted.
