| Sumario: | The study aims to examine the influence of childhood trauma on adult psychopathological symptoms. The sample consisted of 201 patients who were initiating psychoanalytical psychotherapy in a clinic from a training institute. Participants answered two self-report instruments that assessed respectively, the presence and frequency of different traumas in childhood, as well as the intensity of current symptomatology, considering a wide variety of psychopathological syndromes. The results indicate that most of the patients were exposed to childhood adversities and that various types of past traumas have a significant positive association with many dimensions of current symptoms. It was also found that the total trauma index predict levels of symptom-derived psychological distress. The findings corroborate the literature indicating the adverse psychological consequences of childhood trauma on adult mental health. |
