Psychological maltreatment (PM) is a wide-spread form of child maltreatment, both in high-risk and maltreating parents, yet there are no intervention programs that target it directly. In this study, the content of parenting programs for high-risk and maltreating parents was assessed to determine whether the program manuals include content on PM. Nine evidence-based group parenting programs for high-risk or maltreating parents (e.g., included in the SAMHSA or a comparable model program registry) were identified. Program manuals were rated for whether they included content on 18 types of psychological maltreatment (PM). Only one type of PM was rated as being included in all nine programs. Not one of the remaining PM types was rated as being included in more than four programs; and many of the PM types were not rated as being included in any program manual. Therefore, existing parenting program manuals do not contain content related to many forms of psychological maltreatment.

Background: Although epigenomic and environment interactions (Epigenome × Environment; Epi × E) might constitute a novel mechanism underlying reward processing, direct evidence is still scarce. We conducted the first longitudinal study to investigate the extent to which DNA methylation of a stress-related gene-NR3C1-interacts with childhood maltreatment in association with young adult reward responsiveness (RR) and the downstream risk of depressive (anhedonia dimension in particular) and anxiety symptoms.

Method: A total of 192 Chinese university students aged 18∼25 (M = 21.

However, the neurophysiological biotypes of CM remain unclear although the childhood trauma questionnaire uses different dimensions to assess trauma types.

Background: Neighborhood disadvantage is linked to a higher risk of referrals to child welfare and juvenile justice systems. While past research has explored these associations independently, no study has concurrently examined the spatial overlap of child maltreatment and juvenile justice involvement.

Objective: We examine the spatial overlap of involvement in juvenile justice and child welfare systems to identify areas of shared risk.

Article Synopsis
  • Childhood maltreatment is linked to poorer sleep health in adolescents, serving as both a risk factor for mental illness and an area for potential intervention.
  • A study involving 494 adolescents used actigraphy and sleep diaries to assess sleep quality and found significant associations between various types of maltreatment and sleep health, excluding sexual abuse.
  • Results indicate that maltreatment negatively impacts both subjective and objective sleep measures, highlighting the importance of addressing sleep issues in at-risk youth.

The risk of developing chronic pain is twice as high among people with a history of childhood maltreatment compared to those without these experiences. It is unclear, however, whether childhood maltreatment might lead to lower or higher perception of pain. In this paper, we investigate the association between childhood maltreatment and pain sensitivity.
