For instance, Lassri, Luyten, Cohen, and Shahar (2016) found DSO symptoms such as interpersonal difficulties were linked to a history of ACEs through self-criticism. Being one of the most common symptoms in people with ACEs, self-criticism can stimulate stress response, leading to more CPTSD symptoms (Feinson & Hornik-Lurie, 2016;Lassri, Luyten, Fonagy, & Shahar, 2018).…”

Background: There is a growing research literature on complex posttraumatic stress disorder (CPTSD), yet studies that focused on Chinese populations are still limited. Accumulating evidence showed that adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are associated with a higher likelihood of CPTSD symptoms, but potential mediating roles of self-kindness and selfjudgement on the ACEs-CPTSD relationship remain understudied. Objective: The purpose of this study was to first examine the relationship between ACEs and CPTSD among Chinese college students, and then to test the mediating role of self-kindness and self-judgement on the ACEs-CPTSD relationship. Method: The study included 1361 college students for an online survey in May 2020. Demographic variables (e.g. age, gender, having sibling[s] or not, residence, family structure, and subjective socioeconomic status), ACEs, self-compassion (self-kindness and self-judgement subscales), and CPTSD symptoms were assessed. After controlling for demographic variables, a series of structural equation models tested the mediation hypothesis: indirect effects of selfkindness and self-judgement on the relationship between ACEs and CPTSD symptom. Results: ACEs of College students were positively associated with more severe CPTSD symptoms (posttraumatic stress disorder and disturbances in self-organization symptoms). Furthermore, these direct pathways were mediated by decreased self-kindness and increased self-judgement. Conclusions: Findings have substantial theoretical and treatment implications, including the two critical targets (i.e. lowering self-judgement and raising self-kindness) when treating complex PTSD. La relación entre las adversidades en la infancia y los síntomas de estrés postraumático complejo: un modelo de mediación múltipleAntecedentes: existe una creciente literatura de investigación sobre el trastorno de estrés postraumático complejo (TEPT-C), sin embargo, los estudios centrados en la población China aún son limitados. La evidencia acumulada mostró que las experiencias adversas de la infancia (ACEs en sus siglas en inglés) están asociadas con una mayor probabilidad de síntomas de TEPT-C, pero los posibles roles mediadores de la bondad hacia uno mismo y auto-juicio propio en la relación ACE-TEPT-C siguen siendo poco estudiados. Objetivo: El propósito de este estudio fue examinar primero la relación entre ACE y TEPT-C entre estudiantes universitarios chinos, y luego probar el papel mediador de la bondad y el auto-juicio en la relación ACE-TEPT-C. Método: El estudio incluyó a 1361 estudiantes universitarios para una encuesta en línea en mayo del 2020. Variables demográficas (por ejemplo, edad, sexo, tener hermanos o no, residencia, estructura familiar y estatus socioeconómico subjetivo), ACE, autocompasión (subescalas de auto-bondad y auto-juicio), y se evaluaron los síntomas de TEPT-C. Después de controlar las variables demográficas, una serie de modelos de ecuaciones estructurales probaron la hipótesis de la mediación: los efectos indirectos de la bondad personal y el ...

“…Studies that explore individual differences in relation to maltreatment using the childhood trauma questionnaire (CTQ) as a continuous score, have reported a positive association between internalizing symptoms (e.g., Herringa et al 2013 ; Huh et al 2017 ), emotion dysregulation and psychopathology (Jennissen et al 2016 ; Peh et al 2017 ). In addition, a study examining the effect of emotional abuse and neglect on a continuum has found a positive relation with internalizing symptoms (Hamilton et al 2013 ) and another exploring the continuous effect of the combined score of emotional abuse and neglect found that self-criticism mediated the link between emotional abuse and neglect and romantic satisfaction (Lassri et al 2016 ).…”

Childhood neglect is the most common type of maltreatment, ranging from minor isolated incidents to consistent failures in emotional/physical caregiving. It has been associated with developmental impairments and considered a risk factor for the emergence of psychopathology, particularly internalizing disorders. This study aimed to explore individual differences in response to the continuum of severity of neglect in community adolescents, as well as the role of specific cognitive emotion regulation strategies (CERSs) as mediators between childhood neglect and current internalizing symptoms. Low-risk adolescents (12-19 years old; M age 15.88 years; N = 123; 64 Females) completed questionnaires assessing these experiences. We employed a regression model and a simple mediation analyses. Findings indicate a positive association between childhood neglect, internalizing behaviors, and the adoption of self-blame as CERS. Moreover, the use of self-blame in response to everyday stress partially mediated the relationship between neglect and internalizing behaviors (effect size: .28). Findings support the hypothesis that even in a low risk sample, neglect is associated with internalizing symptoms, and highlight the importance of assessing individual differences in the experience of neglect. Moreover, the mediation effect of the CERSs of self-blame might serve as a potential target for psychotherapeutic interventions aimed at reducing internalizing symptoms.

“…Além disso, também entrou, nessa categoria, o relato de jovens que compartilharam sobre os padrões transgeracionais afetivos de seus familiares. Desse modo, oito estudos internacionais que integraram o corpus de análise buscaram investigar as dimensões do apego adulto estabelecidas com a família de origem, que pudessem estar relacionadas com projetos de vida (Chopik, Edelstein, & Grimm, 2017;Fraley, Roisman, Booth-laforce, Owen, & Holland, 2013;Lantagne e Furman, 2017;Lassri, Luyten, Cohen, & Shahar, 2016;Lopez et al, 2013;Simons et al, 2014;Sun, Wang, & Jiang, 2017;Zaman & Fivush, 2013). A fim de facilitar a compreensão das temáticas contempladas nessa categoria, foram desmembrados os seguintes subtemas que compuseram a análise: desenvolvimento do apego ao longo do ciclo vital (n=5); padrões transgeracionais do apego nas relações familiares (n=2); violência infantil e apego adulto (n=1).…”

As relações afetivas na infância repercutem no estilo de apego do indivíduo no decorrer do seu ciclo vital. Assim, o objetivo deste artigo é analisar o perfil de estudos nacionais e internacionais acerca da relação entre o apego dos membros do casal desenvolvido na infância e o relacionamento conjugal e parental. Para tanto, foi realizada uma revisão de literatura integrativa nas bases de dados PsycInfo, Scielo e CAPES, por meio de descritores preestabelecidos, em português, inglês e espanhol, entre 2013 a 2017. Foram selecionados 32 artigos completos indexados, os quais foram submetidos a análises metodológicas e semânticas, derivando-se três categorias temáticas. Identificou-se a predominância de estudos longitudinais e quantitativos, cujas publicações concentram-se, em grande parte, na América do Norte. Constatou-se também, que pessoas com características de apego inseguro apresentam maior tendência de desenvolver conflito conjugal e baixa qualidade do relacionamento amoroso. Não foi encontrada nenhuma pesquisa que integrasse em um único estudo, a relação estabelecida entre o apego dos membros do casal na infância e suas repercussões sobre os vínculos conjugal e parental. Verifica-se a lacuna de estudos que discutam a teoria do apego em uma perspectiva transgeracional e seus efeitos sobre a vida adulta.
