Abstract
Of 140 women outpatients, 64% reported a history of sexual or physical abuse, or both. Symptom checklist scores at the first interview were significantly higher among those reporting a history of recent or childhood abuse than among those reporting no abuse. Implications for further research are discussed.Keywords
