“…Its validity has also been established with longitudinal data gathered from age 4 to 23, suggesting that AMMI scores at age 23 reflect corresponding cumulated lifetime scores for security, deactivation, and hyperactivation [ 29 ]. Also, theoretically consistent links between disorganization and unresolved trauma, maltreatment severity, suicidal risk, and child abuse [ 29 , 31 , 46 ] further confirm its validity.…”

The literature suggests that insecure maternal attachment is a risk factor for postpartum depression which, in turn, affects mother–infant bonding. However, recent research on attachment has suggested that investigations of attachment networks provide further insight into the understanding of psychological outcomes. This study aimed to test a model, according to which, mothers’ attachments towards each of their parents contribute to explaining their attachment towards their romantic partners, which itself is associated with maternal postpartum depression and, in turn, mother–infant bonding. The Attachment Multiple Model Interview, Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, and Postpartum Bonding Questionnaire were administered to 90 mothers of infants under 6 months of age (32 with postpartum major depression). The results showed that the attachment towards the partner (1) was best explained by the attachment towards the father and (2) mediated the link between the attachment to the father and the depression severity. Additionally, the depression severity mediated the link between the attachment to the partner and mother–infant bonding. These results highlight the role of attachment models towards the romantic partner and father in the perinatal period and the relevance of attachment-focused therapeutic programs for treating postpartum maternal depression.

“…It is interesting to note that, in our study, young boys between the ages of 3 and 9 years were more likely to disclose experiencing sexual abuse in their interview in the PED than were male adolescents. However, this may be the result of the strength of gender norms and fear of homosexuality perception increasing with age (Miljkovitch et al, 2020).…”

Introduction:The purpose of this study was to compare child sexual abuse interview disclosures and judicial outcomes for cases of child and adolescent sexual abuse/assault seen in a pediatric emergency department (PED) before and after the implementation of a simulated child advocacy center (CAC) multidisciplinary model of care. Method: A retrospective chart and legal records review was conducted from both the PED model of care group and the simulated CAC multidisciplinary model of care for judicial outcomes, child sexual abuse interview disclosures, and sexual abuse case characteristics. Results:The simulated CAC multidisciplinary model of care did not result in increased indictments, pleas, trials, or disclosure of sexual abuse in the sexual abuse interview when compared with the PED model of care. The simulated CAC multidisciplinary model of care did result in a significantly higher rate of sexual abuse interview completion. Discussion: Demographic risk factors for sexual abuse victimization as well as perpetration have been identified in the literature and were supported by this study. Law enforcement and child protective services were more frequently present in the PED under the simulated CAC multidisciplinary model allowing for improved protection of children.
