This study describes the prevalence of childhood trauma and maltreatment antecedents among 111 criminal offenders referred for forensic and mental health counseling. Sixty-nine percent reported such antecedents. Seventy percent had Axis 1 mental health disorders including anxiety, depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, and substance-related disorders. Many were comorbid. The implications of developmental psychopathology arising from childhood trauma and maltreatment for counselors who treat forensic clients are addressed.

KEY WORDS: childhood maltreatment, antisocial behaviors, criminal offenders
