| Abstract | This longitudinal study examined the effect of being placed in foster care versus remaining at home upon the psychological functioning of 64 black, sexually abused girls aged 5 to 16 years. Only subjects molested by persons well known to them were included in this study. The children were initially evaluated using a multi-method assessment protocol that included self-reports, parent reports, and projective and cognitive measures, within 6 months following report of the abuse, and were reevaluated approximately 1 year later. A caregiver interview was also conducted with the child's biological mother or foster mother. Findings indicated that, over the year, the children showed a decline in affective distress and depression. However, the children continued to show compromised ego functioning, disturbed perceptions of relationships, and high levels of stress relative to their adaptive coping skills. Overall, no significant differences in the psychological functioning were found between the girls who remained at home and those who were placed in foster care. In supplementary, cross-sectional analyses involving 24 additional subjects, several maternal and child variables were found to be related to the child's adaptation. (MM) |
