TY - JOUR PY - 2023// TI - Traumatic experiences in childhood and maternal depressive symptomatology: their impact on parenting in preschool JO - Children (Basel, Switzerland) A1 - Santelices, María Pía A1 - de los Ángeles Fernández, María A1 - Wendland, Jaqueline SP - e55 EP - e55 VL - 10 IS - 1 N2 - The goal of this study is to describe and analyze the relationship between childhood trauma and depressive symptoms and its relation to the parental interactions of mothers (19-47 years) with their 3-4 year old preschool children. Parental interactions, traumatic experiences in mothers' childhood, and current depressive symptoms were measured using the Parenting Interactions with Children: Checklist of Observations Linked to Outcomes (PICCOLO), the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire Short Form (CTQ), and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-I), respectively. A nonclinical sample of 81 Chilean mothers with their children was used.

RESULTS show that the presence of trauma in mothers' childhood has an impact on parenting; specifically, mothers with an emotional neglect experience showed greater difficulties in adequately promoting autonomy in their children.
