I need help creating a thesis and an outline on Childhood Emotional Abuse and Bipolar Disorder. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is required. Moreover, there is a modulation effect that has been found between the traumatic events in childhood and bipolar disorder, in terms of the time of onset and a host of conditions that include simultaneous drug use, psychosis, and suicidal tendencies. On the other hand, while the literature strongly suggests that the occurrence of trauma in childhood may be linked to the disorders onset, expression, and eventual treatment outcome, past studies have been methodically hampered by such crucial factors as lacking control groups, small sample sizes, and variances in the tests of assessment, some resorting to interviews and others to questionnaires. To address these and other shortcomings, therefore, the article details the result of a study that had three aims: 1) a retrospective assessment of how prevalent and severe different childhood trauma subtypes are, in bipolar patients and in control groups. 2) to find out what, for different trauma subtypes, the “preferential implications” are relative to bipolar disorder. and 3) to find out what their “dose-effect” are (Etain, 2010).

80 percent of screened, approached subjects (100 controls and 250 bipolar subjects) agreed to participate and constituted the sample population so that the final sample population consisted of 206 bipolar subjects and 94 controls. Further screening tests were conducted on the included subjects to determine their psychiatric fit to their respective groups, in the form of the Diagnostic Interview for Genetic Studies, prior to the administration of the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire or CTQ. Five trauma subtypes were explored in the CTQ: emotional and physical neglect, and emotional, physical and sexual abuse, where every low severity rating for each subtype by a subject was considered indicative of trauma presence. The data were statistically analyzed, normalized where possible, and the differences in results between the bipolar group and controls were analyzed (Etain, 2010).

The analytical aim was to determine the differences between test and control populations. CTQ scores were higher in significant fashion for the bipolar subjects compared to those in the control group.
