Objective: The present study investigated the relationship of characteristics of childhood sexual abuse and subsequent psychopathology. Method: Referrals to a female psychiatrist in private practice in an urban working class area provided 73 adult female subjects who reported having been sexually abused in childhood. Data were collected on age at onset, duration, physical invasiveness of the abuse, violence, and the number and relationship of abusers. Results: Having had multiple abusers in childhood was significantly (p < 0.01) associated with every outcome measure of severe psychopathology: an initial Global Assessment Functioning score of 50 or below; both single and repeated incidents of deliberate self-harm; overdose; self-mutilation; and psychiatric hospital admission. Conclusions: Notably, having had multiple abusers was the only characteristic showing a reliable independent association with any of these measures. Subjects who had had multiple abusers were significantly more likely to have an earlier age of onset and longer duration of abuse, and to have experienced violent abuse.
