The push and pull of closeness: Dyadic parent-offspring intimacy in the shadow of parental history of child maltreatment.

Background: Parental history of child maltreatment (CM) may affect perceived parent-child closeness. However, past research often examines this from either the parent's or child's perspective alone. This study uses an intimacy framework to explore the dyadic nature of perceived closeness in parent-child relationships involving CM.

Sensory Responsiveness, Sexual Mindful Awareness, and Sexual Satisfaction Among Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse: A Cross-Sectional Mediation Analysis.

Previous studies have demonstrated that a history of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) is associated with reduced sexual satisfaction among adult survivors. Recent studies have suggested that survivors of traumatic experiences may display sensory modulation dysfunction, manifested as either over- or under-responsiveness to sensory stimuli. In this study we examined a moderated mediation model according to which: a) the effect of history of CSA on adult sexual satisfaction would be mediated by both high and low sensory responsiveness, and b) these mediation effects would be moderated by sexual mindful awareness.

"He was not interested in pain": The experience of pain in child sexual abuse as conveyed by adult survivors.

Although extensive efforts have been dedicated to uncovering the close link between trauma and chronic pain, very few research efforts have investigated the lived experience of pain during and following trauma. This study delves into the complex and multifaceted experiences of physical pain among adults who experienced child sexual abuse (CSA), examining 29 detailed testimonies provided to the Israeli Independent Public Inquiry into CSA. Using qualitative thematic analysis, the research identifies and elaborates on three pivotal themes: pain as a distress signal, the internalization of pain, and the intermingling of physical and mental pain.

Intergenerational Transmission of Posttraumatic Orientation to Bodily Signals Following Child Maltreatment.

Recent studies have indicated that CM (child maltreatment) may influence individuals' perception of their bodies, often resulting in a posttraumatic orientation to bodily signals (OBS). Given the intricate relationship between bodily and interpersonal experiences, it is hypothesized that posttraumatic OBS may be intergenerationally transmitted. However, knowledge regarding this phenomenon, and its underlying mechanisms, remains limited.

Intergenerational associations between childhood maltreatment, post-traumatic stress symptoms, and chronic pain in young adult offspring and their parents.

Findings have revealed a strong link between exposure to child maltreatment (CM) and later chronic pain. Concurrently, other findings have been grounded in the understanding that CM consequences may not end with the exposed individual, rather, they extend to their offspring. However, little is known regarding the possible intergenerational transmission of chronic pain following CM.

Peritraumatic Pain in Child Maltreatment: A Systematic Literature Review.

Extensive research has been conducted on the link between trauma, child maltreatment (CM), and chronic pain. Although the risk of suffering from chronic pain among CM survivors has been established, much less is known about the experience of pain during CM incidents or whether such peritraumatic pain sensations are associated with later chronic pain. This scoping review was conducted to synthesize the existing literature on pain during and a short time following CM (i.

Maltreatment in Daycare Settings: A Review of Empirical Studies in the Field.

Daycare maltreatment refers to abusive and/or neglectful acts perpetrated by teachers, directors, non-professionals or volunteers, family members of staff, and peers in a daycare setting. Despite growing evidence of its occurrence, the prevalence and consequences of daycare maltreatment for the child, the parent(s), and their dyad are largely unknown. This qualitative systematic literature review was conducted to synthesize the existing literature referring to daycare maltreatment, using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines.

Post-Traumatic Orientation to Bodily Signals: A Systematic Literature Review.

Theoretical literature suggests that trauma and (PTSD) may instigate changes in the interpretation of bodily signals. Some findings support these inquiries, revealing that exposure to traumatic events and PTSD are associated with pain catastrophizing, body vigilance, fear of pain, and other manifestations of bodily perceptions and interpretations. However, these findings are not integrated into an inclusive empirically based conceptualization, thus leading to a limited comprehension of this phenomenon.
