![]() 1995: Corporal punishment and adult addiction and psychiatric problems: Psychiatric and addiction: Dr. Harriet McMillan of McMaster University in Hamilton, ON Canada led a six-person team which studied the possible association between childhood spanking and subsequent behavior problems in adulthood. 3 They based their study on data collected as part of a 1990 population health survey by the Ontario Ministry of Health of 10,000 adults in the province. Five thousand of the subjects had been asked questions about spanking during childhood. Unlike many previous studies, the researchers deleted from the sample group anyone who recalled being physically or sexually abused. This left adults who had only been spanked and/or slapped during childhood. Incidences of adult disorders we Adult disorder Never spanked Rarely spanked Sometimes/often spanked Anxiety 16.3% .........18.8% .......... 21.3% Major depression 4.6% ......... 4.8% ................6.9% Alcohol abuse or addiction ............5.8%.. 10.2%............ 13.2% More than one disorder *7.5% . 12.6% .......... 16.7% * More than one disorder included illicit drug abuse, addictions & antisocial behavior. Their results were published in the Canadian Medical Journal for 1995-OCT. 2 They reported that "there appears to be a linear association between the frequency of slapping and spanking during childhood and a lifetime prevalence of anxiety disorder, alcohol abuse or dependence and externalizing problems." -- "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well armed lamb contesting the vote." - Benjamin Franklin |
