摘要：In this paper, differential psychopathological consequences in battered women according to age were analyzed in a sample of 148 victims seeking psychological treatment at a Family Violence Centre. The younger victims exposed to intimate partner violence suffered more often from physical violence and were at higher risk for their lives than the older ones. Prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was higher (42%) in the younger victims than in the older ones (27%). Likewise, younger victims were affected by more depressive symptoms and lower self-esteem than the older ones. Severity of PTSD in the younger victims was related to the presence of forced sexual relationship, but in the older ones it was related to perceived threat to their lives. The implications of this study for clinical practice and future research in this field are discussed.
