This study examined reappraisal of threat to self, child, and partner wellbeing in a sample of 92 battered women's shelter residents. Participants were assessed for type and severity of intimate-partner violence experienced and current psychological distress. Perceived threats to self, child, and partner wellbeing were assessed and subscale scores developed to serve as dependent variables in multivariate regression analyses. Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) predicted reappraised threat to self wellbeing. Years in the relationship predicted reappraised threat to partner wellbeing. Threat to child wellbeing was predicted by mother's physical abuse and PTSD. Implications for future research include longitudinal studies that investigate threat reappraisal, including postshelter outcomes of women with PTSD
