Abstract The interpersonal nature of childhood abuse has led researchers to examine how abuse in childhood is associated with the quality of adult women's romantic relationships. Depression is one pathway by which childhood abuse may be associated with relationship quality. The current study considers whether childhood abuse is linked to positive and negative relationship quality through depressive symptoms. Data were obtained from women participating in the Longitudinal Study of Childhood Abuse and Neglect (LONGSCAN; N = 544) and were analysed using structural equation modelling. Results indicate a significant indirect effect from childhood abuse to both positive and negative quality through women's depressive symptoms. The indirect effect from abuse to negative relationship quality through depression was significantly larger than positive relationship quality. These results suggest that childhood abuse and subsequent depressive symptoms has a twofold effect on women's romantic relationships.

In addition to the core posttraumatic symptomatology such as s trauma-related intrusions, avoidance, and hyperarousal, patients with complex PTSD related to childhood abuse often also exhibit distortions of emotion regulation, pervasive negative self-concepts, and difficult interpersonal relationships. DBT-PTSD is a comprehensive multicomponent treatment to specifically focus on the sequelae of childhood abuse with and without borderline personality disorder. Based on the principles of DBT, it adds trauma-specific cognitive and skills-assisted exposure-based techniques and interventions to improve acceptance as well as compassion for self and others. It has been developed for and tested in both a three-month residential treatment and a 12-month outpatient programme. The first randomized controlled trial evaluated the treatment under residential conditions, including borderline patients with ongoing self harm. The second large multi-centre trial investigates DBT-PTSD under outpatient conditions, compared to Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). This chapter reviews the principles and structure of this new and highly promising DBT-adaptation.
