Similarly, validity studies on single-item assessment of emotions, such as happiness(Abdel-Khalek, 2006), anxiety and depression(Turon et al, 2019) and emotional exhaustion(West, Dyrbye, Satele, Sloan, & Shanafelt, 2012) show good concurrent and discriminant validity when compared with more extensive, validated domain-specific questionnaires.…”

“…Related to the impact of parental emotional abuse on the later emergence of psychopathology, many recent studies have shown a link between bullying by peers and the development of MDD in adulthood ( Biedermann et al, 2021 ; Iob et al, 2021 ; Valera-Pozo et al, 2021 ), raising the possibility that similar mechanisms are invoked by emotional abuse from caregivers as from peers. In addition to increasing the likelihood of MDD, emotional abuse during childhood has been linked to the severity of PTSD ( Rameckers et al, 2021 ), which is often comorbid with MDD.…”

It is now well-established that early life adversity (ELA) predisposes individuals to develop several neuropsychiatric conditions, including anxiety disorders, and major depressive disorder. However, ELA is a very broad term, encompassing multiple types of negative childhood experiences, including physical, sexual and emotional abuse, physical and emotional neglect, as well as trauma associated with chronic illness, family separation, natural disasters, accidents, and witnessing a violent crime. Emerging literature suggests that in humans, different types of adverse experiences are more or less likely to produce susceptibilities to certain conditions that involve affective dysfunction. To investigate the driving mechanisms underlying the connection between experience and subsequent disease, neuroscientists have developed several rodent models of ELA, including pain exposure, maternal deprivation, and limited resources. These studies have also shown that different types of ELA paradigms produce different but somewhat overlapping behavioral phenotypes. In this review, we first investigate the types of ELA that may be driving different neuropsychiatric outcomes and brain changes in humans. We next evaluate whether rodent models of ELA can provide translationally relevant information regarding links between specific types of experience and changes in neural circuits underlying dysfunction.

“…The relationship between CPM and psychological distress is evident with many different populations (e.g., Chen & Qin, 2020; Krayer et al., 2015; Lynch, 2013; Saha et al., 2011); nevertheless, results from this study and others indicate that SOS may represent a path toward wellness or possibly function as a protective factor against PTSD symptoms for emerging adults who have experienced CPM (Chen & Qin, 2020; Cohen et al., 2016; Grossman et al., 2017). This study sheds light on several important practice implications, as many emerging adults exposed to CPM may present to counseling with symptoms of PTSD (Rameckers et al., 2021). Basten and Touyz (2020) emphasized the importance of directly asking clients about areas for growth in their SOS.…”

“…Though CPM is the most troublesome and prevalent type of CM, it has received far less attention in the literature compared to other types (Hibbard et al., 2012; O'Dougherty‐Wright et al., 2009; Stoltenborgh et al., 2015). A number of recent studies have emphasized that CPM is a significant risk factor for lifetime PTSD in particular; however, less research has focused on psychosocial factors related to CPM that may explain PTSD symptomology (Rameckers et al., 2021; Watts et al., 2021). Findings from our study demonstrated that most forms of CM (aside from physical abuse) demonstrated significant associations with a weaker SOS; however, CPM demonstrated a more robust association.…”

This study outlines the relationships among childhood psychological maltreatment (CPM), an understudied form of maltreatment, sense of self (SOS), a developmental construct negatively impacted by trauma, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms in emerging adults. Results from regression analysis on a sample of emerging adults (N = 358) indicated CPM to be the greatest predictor of a weaker SOS, even when considered alongside other types of child maltreatment. Among those exposed to CPM, SOS was a significant predictor of PTSD symptoms, explaining 34.1% of the variance in the outcome. Counseling interventions that focus on SOS during emerging adulthood are recommended as one important consideration for survivors of CPM who experience PTSD symptoms. Specific counseling practice and research implications are included. K E Y W O R D S child maltreatment, psychological maltreatment, PTSD, sense of self, trauma ican Psychiatric Association [APA], 2013; Balayan et al., 2014). Chronic exposure to trauma may result in symptoms of complex PTSD, where individuals experience issues involving emotion dysregulation, interpersonal disturbances, and enduring negative beliefs about self, others, and the world in addition to typical PTSD symptomology (World Health Organization [WHO], 2019). Regardless of diagnosis, individuals may still exhibit subthreshold PTSD (cases where individuals may only meet two or three PTSD criteria according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders [DSM-5]; APA, 2013) in which they experience notable issues in distress, impairment, suicidality, and are more likely © 2022 by the American Counseling Association.to be diagnosed with comorbid conditions, suggesting the importance of paying critical attention to both symptoms and diagnosis in the literature and in practice (McLaughlin et al., 2015). These issues emphasize the importance of understanding risk factors which may contribute to the development and maintenance of PTSD symptoms. Child maltreatmentChild maltreatment (CM) is a significant public health issue that adversely influences physical, psychological, and behavioral health across the lifespan (Child Welfare Information Gateway [CWIG], 2022). CM refers to childhood exposure to five categories of maltreatment, including physical abuse and neglect, emotional abuse and neglect, and sexual abuse. Recent data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System have indicated that 60.9% of adults (N = 144,017) participating in the annual survey (representing 25 states) reported being exposed to at least one form of CM, with 15.6% of the sample reporting exposure to four or more instances or other adverse childhood experiences (Merrick 96wileyonlinelibrary.com/journal/jcad
