The purpose of this study was to examine the existence of a history of physical and/or sexual abuse in adolescents diagnosed with Conduct Disorder. A retrospective chart review was undertaken at a Midwestern inpatient mental health facility. Files of adolescents diagnosed with Conduct Disorder, and who were admitted to this inpatient facility in 1995, were reviewed (n = 18). Fisher's exact probability tests were performed comparing the data gathered with statistics compiled by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (1998). The results suggest that the frequency of physical and sexual abuse is significantly greater than rates for the population at large. Implications for future research are discussed.
