Abstract
Experiences of childhood abuse and maltreatment often result in persistent social, emotional, and neurobiological changes that can cause distress across the lifespan. In this symposium, presenters will explore the impacts of childhood abuse and maltreatment from a variety of perspectives and using a range of modalities. Specifically, we will examine whether reported childhood maltreatment experiences differ among diagnostic groups, associations that profiles of maltreatment have with current psychological symptoms, clinical factors associated with an identified neural signature of dissociation, and relationships between attachment and intergenerational transmission of maternal childhood maltreatment.
