ABSTRACT
The study examines the prevalence of major depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, alcohol and substance abuse disorders in a sample of 21 women between the ages of 18 and 57 who had experienced intimate partner violence within the previous year. The findings are compared to those in a control sample of 60 women who had never experienced physical abuse. The prevalence of major depression in the battered sample was 71 percent compared to 10 percent in the control sample. Posttraumatic stress disorder was found in 62 percent of the battered sample compared to 2 percent of the control sample. Both findings were statistically significant. Alcohol and substance abuse disorders were found in 14 percent of battered subjects as compared to 2 percent in the control group. This finding was not statistically significant. The findings are consistent with the hypothesis that intimate partner violence increases risk for mental health problems (AU)
