Early sexual abuse and low cortisol. King JA, Mandansky D, King S, Fletcher
KE, Brewer J Psychiatry Clin Neurosci 2001 Feb; 55(1):71-4 - " Post-traumatic
stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health disorder precipitated by a
stressful event that produces fear or terror in the individual.
Post-traumatic stress disorder studies, particularly in early sexual abuse,
have been associated with neuroendocrine dysfunction, most notably the
hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis....The present study shows that
subjects who had been abused within the last couple of months had
significantly lower cortisol in comparison to control subjects...The data
suggest that children may have an impaired HPA axis after early trauma."
What Did the C.I.A. Do to Eric Olson's Father? - by Michael Ignatieff - "for
a quarter of a century, a close friend of mine, a Harvard classmate, has
believed that the Central Intelligence Agency murdered his father, a United
States government scientist. ....On June 11, 1975, The Washington Post
revealed that a commission led by Vice President Nelson Rockefeller had
discovered that "a civilian employee of the Department of the Army
unwittingly took LSD as part of a Central Intelligence Agency test" and
"developed serious side effects.""

The Olson File - A secret that could destroy the CIA - by Kevin Dowling and
Phillip Knightley - "in 1975 the Rockefeller Commission, ...to examine the
extent of the CIA‚s illegal domestic operations, revealed that an unnamed
army scientist had died after CIA experts, experimenting with mind-bending
drugs, had secretly slipped him a dose of potent LSD. During the ensuing
uproar, the scientist was identified as Frank Olson....CIA director, William
Colby, held a lunch for Mrs Olson and Eric in his office at the CIA,
apologised and gave them the CIA file on the case. According to the file,
Olson had suffered a "chemically-induced psychotic flashback" a week after he
had been slipped the dose of LSD. So a CIA doctor, Richard Lashbrook, had
been deputed to look after Olson until he was normal again." The article
discusses alternative theories to Olson's death to the one commonly known.

Rorschach correlates of sexual abuse: Trauma content and aggression indexes.
Kamphuis JH, Kugeares SL, Finn SE J Pers Assess Oct 75(2):212-224, 2000
"clients with definite sexual abuse scored significantly higher than clients
known not to be sexually abused on J. G. Armstrong and R. J. Loewenstein's
(1990) Trauma Content index (TC/R)...Although TC/R was strongly associated
with the presence and severity of sexual abuse, it could not discriminate
sexually abused from nonsexually abused clients with great accuracy. The TC/R
score is one factor among many that can be used to assess the validity of
clients' claims of past sexual abuse."
Child sexual abuse and later disordered eating: A New Zealand epidemiological
study. Romans SE, Gendall KA, Martin JL, Mullen PE Int J Eat Disord 2001 May;
29(4):380-92 "CSA women with ED (CSA+ED) were compared with CSA women without
ED (CSA-noED) and with CSA women with anxiety and/or depression (psychiatric
comparison group). RESULTS: Higher rates of EDs in women who have experienced
CSA were confirmed in this study."
Child sexual abuse as a predictor of psychiatric co-morbidity and its
implications for drug and alcohol treatment. Jarvis TJ, Copeland J Drug &
Alcohol Dependence 1997 Dec 49(1):61-69, 1997 "Explores the association
between child sexual abuse (CSA) and psychological co-morbidity among 180
women (aged 16-69 yrs) receiving
either drug and alcohol treatment or CSA counseling....Results show that Ss
reported elevated levels of anxiety, somatisation, and dissociation but not
depression. Higher rates of self-harm, eating disorders and sexual
dysfunction were also reported by CSA survivors. Women with a history of both
CSA and substance abuse were more likely to have attempted suicide than other
women."
Childhood sexual abuse and bulimic behavior in a nationally representative
sample. Wonderlich SA, Wilsnack RW, Wilsnack SC, Harris TR Am J Public Health
86(8, Pt 1):1082-1086, 1996 "representative national sample of 1,099 US
women... Findings suggest that childhood sexual abuse is a risk factor for
bulimic behavior. Between
one-sixth and one-third of the cases of significant bulimic disturbance
could be attributed to childhood sexual abuse."
Childhood sexual abuse and women's substance abuse: National survey findings.
Wilsnack S C, Vogeltanz ND, Klassen AD, Harris TR J Studies Alcohol May
58(3): 264-271, 1997 "national survey of women's drinking, 1,099 US women
(aged 21 yrs & older) were asked about sexual experiences occurring before
age 18....Results... indicated that women with histories of CSA were
significantly more likely than women without CSA histories to report recent
alcohol use, intoxication, drinking-related problems and alcohol dependence
symptoms; lifetime use of prescribed psychoactive drugs and illicit drugs;
depression and anxiety; pain that prevented intercourse; and consensual
sexual intercourse before age 15."
