Poster Presentation
Abstract
The present study examined whether abuse type (psychological vs. physical) and abuse source (mother vs. father) differentially predict risk for Antisocial Personality Disorder (APD). Results suggest that psychological rather than psychological abuse, particularly from mothers, is associated with elevated APD traits in adulthood. Clinical implications are discussed.
