ABSTRACT
This study examined the use of a Spanish version of the Child Dissociative Checklist (CDC) in Puerto Rico. The CDC was administered to the primary caretakers of three groups of children 31 with documented abuse histories, 30 with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), 33 with no abuse or psychiatric record. Results confirmed the reliability and validity of the CDC and revealed that Puerto Rican children with abuse histories showed significantly higher levels of dissociation than the children in the other two groups. Moreover, more than half of the abused children had a score above the usual cut-off point of 12 in the CDC, while only a handful of the ADHD children and none in the control group evidenced such a pattern. The results also showed that there were significant correlations between the CDC and the duration of the abusive experiences. Implications of our findings and subsequent clinical recommendations are offered.
