Fuel to the fire: The escalating interplay of attachment and maltreatment in the transgenerational transmission of psychopathology in families living in refugee camps / Florian SCHARPF in Development and Psychopathology, 33-4 (October 2021)

Although parental psychopathology has been shown to be a risk factor both for maltreatment and insecure attachment representations, these factors` joint contribution to child psychopathology has not been investigated. In a sample of Burundian refugee families living in refugee camps in Western Tanzania, the associations between attachment representations, maltreatment, and psychopathology were examined by conducting structured interviews with 226 children aged 7 to 15 and both their parents. Structural equation modeling revealed that children's insecure attachment representations and maltreatment by mothers fully mediated the relation between maternal and child psychopathology [model fit: comparative fit index (CFI) = 0.96; root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) = 0.05]. A direct association between paternal and child psychopathology was observed (model fit: CFI = 0.96; RMSEA = 0.05). The findings suggest a vicious cycle, wherein an insecure attachment to a mother suffering from psychopathology may be linked to children's risk to be maltreated, which may reinforce insecure representations and perpetuate the pathogenic relational experience. Interventions targeting the attachment relationship and parental mental health may prevent negative child outcomes.

Intergenerational transmission of mental health risk in refugee families: The role of maternal psychopathology and emotional availability / Florian SCHARPF in Development and Psychopathology, 36-4 (October 2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopment and Psychopathology > 36-4 (October 2024) . - p.1582-1595 Titre : Intergenerational transmission of mental health risk in refugee families: The role of maternal psychopathology and emotional availability Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Florian SCHARPF, Auteur ; Markus PAULUS, Auteur ; Natalie CHRISTNER, Auteur ; Luisa BEERBAUM, Auteur ; Marina KAMMERMEIER, Auteur ; Tobias HECKER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1582-1595 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Trauma  emotional availability  mental health  mother-child relationship  refugee Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : To prevent an intergenerational cycle of malfunction, it is crucial to understand how mothers' exposure to traumatic war experiences contributes to their children?s vulnerability to mental health problems. This study examined the role of maternal psychopathology and mother-child emotional availability (EA) in the association between mothers' trauma exposure and children?s mental health problems in a sample of 222 Burundian mother-child dyads living in refugee camps in Tanzania. Maternal and child EA were assessed through recorded observations of mother-child interactions. In structured clinical interviews, mothers reported on their lifetime exposure to traumatic events and their psychopathology and both mothers and fathers reported on children?s emotional and behavioral problems. Structural equation modeling showed that mothers' higher trauma exposure was indirectly associated with higher levels of children?s mental health problems through higher levels of maternal psychopathology. Mothers' higher trauma exposure was also directly associated with lower maternal EA in mother-child interactions, which was in turn related to higher levels of children?s mental health problems. The findings suggest that trauma exposure independently affects mothers' mental health and their EA, which can contribute to children?s mental health problems. Interventions aiming to reduce mothers' psychopathology and strengthen their EA may be beneficial for children?s well-being.
