Black people's experiences of being asked about adverse childhood experiences in the UK: A qualitative study
ConclusionsThe results highlight that people find it important and useful to be asked about ACEs, if it is done in an appropriate manner. Establishing trust and a therapeutic relationship is key to fostering this. Participants stated that the ACE questionnaire might miss important context, and they relayed a preference for being asked about ACEs using more inclusive definitions of ACEs.

ConclusionsLow dropout rates in both types of MBT indicate a high level of engagement of patients in both programmes.

More research is needed, however, to investigate to what extent attachment is a dynamic context-bound adaptive process rather than a static personality feature.
