The role of emotion recognition in the intergenerational transmission of child maltreatment: A multigenerational family study

CONCLUSIONS: Findings highlight the importance of distinguishing between abuse and neglect when investigating the precursors and sequalae of child maltreatment. In addition, the effectiveness of interventions that aim to break the cycle of abuse and neglect could be improved by better addressing the specific problems with emotion processing of abusive and neglectful parents.PMID:38417291 | DOI:10.1016/j.chiabu.2024.106699
