TL;DR
Gender, age, and stressors other than abuse contribute to the prediction of psychiatric disorder in abused children.
Abstract
Gender, age, and stressors other than abuse contribute to the prediction of psychiatric disorder in abused children. Early interventions with young abused boys could help prevent development of violent behavior or conduct disorder; case work to reduce other stressors and treatments designed to reduce the impact of stressors may ameliorate developing post-traumatic stress disorders and other emotional disorders in abused children.
