Families of alcoholics are known to have increased domestic violence, divorce and child abuse. It is no wonder Catherine behaved this way as she herself was abused.

Unit 204: Principles of safeguarding and protection in health and social care Know how to recognise signs of abuse There are several different types of abuse, such as physical abuse and financial abuse.

Running Head: CHILDHOOD ABUSE AND BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER Childhood Abuse and Borderline Personality Disorder Grand Canyon University Experimental Psychology - PSY 452 Childhood Abuse and Borderline Personality Disorder There have been numerous studies conducted to establish the relationship between childhood sexual and physical abuse with borderline personality disorder (BPD). “Experiences in early childhood are viewed as important in contributing to borderline pathology” (Ogata, Silk, Goodrich, Lohr, Westen, & Hill, 1990, p. 1008). Despite the different definitions prior research studies have used describing sexual and physical abuse, all studies are consistent in finding a high frequency of reported childhood sexual abuse in patients with borderline personality disorder (Silk, Lee, Hill & Lohr, 1995, p. 1059). Furthermore, “the majority of sexual abuse reported by patients with borderline personality disorder [is] not a single, nonpenetrating event with a stranger” (Silk et al., 1995, p. 1059). It is estimated that 57% of individuals seeking inpatient treatment and 33% of individuals in non-clinical populations are the victims of some form of childhood sexual abuse or physical abuse (Ogata et al., 1990, p. 1008).
