Abstract

Abstract Although many have suggested that child sexual and perhaps physical abuse may predispose young women to the development of eating disorders, others assert that little empirical evidence exists to support such assertions. Nonetheless, clinicians agree that for some women, the experience of abusive events in childhood may be conceptually important in understanding the complex genesis of their eating disorder and therefore in facilitating treatment. We propose that child abuse may be related to the subsequent development of eating disorders, particularly bulimic disorders, according to the following preliminary model. The model includes the elements of: 1) child abuse, including its developmental effects on seg- and body-concepts; 2) vulnerable temperaments; 3) predisposition to comorbid conditions, particularly aflective and alcoholl substance use disorders; 4) deficits in aflect regulation; and 5) family andlor peer environments emphasizing weight, appearance, and dieting.
关于童年虐待在妇女饮食失调发展中的作用的推测
尽管许多人认为儿童性虐待和身体虐待可能使年轻女性易患饮食失调症,但也有人断言,几乎没有经验证据支持这种说法。尽管如此,临床医生一致认为,对于一些女性来说,童年受虐待事件的经历可能在概念上对理解其饮食失调的复杂起源具有重要意义,从而有助于治疗。根据以下初步模型,我们提出儿童虐待可能与随后的饮食失调,特别是贪食症的发展有关。该模型包括以下要素:1)儿童虐待,包括其对隔离和身体概念的发展影响;2)脆弱的性情;3)易患合并症,特别是情感性和酒精物质使用障碍;4)赤字反映了监管;5)家庭和同伴环境强调体重、外貌和节食。
