In this Papers Podcast,
Assistant ProfessorJacqueline Samson and
Associate Professor Martin Teicher discuss their co-authored JCPP paper ‘Practitioner Review: Neurobiological consequences of childhood maltreatment – clinical and therapeutic implications for practitioners’ (
https://doi.org/10.1111/jcpp.13883). Jacqueline and Martin are the lead authors of the paper.
There is an overview of the paper, methodology, key findings, and implications for practice.
Discussion points include:
- How childhood maltreatment alters threat detection and the impact of childhood maltreatment on the area and integrity of white matter tracts.
- What happens in terms of hippocampal and subfield activation.
- Definition and insight into the concept of latent vulnerability and ecophenotypes, and the impact of maltreatment.
- The problematic behavioural presentations that you would expect to see in individuals exposed to childhood maltreatment.
- Evidence-based tools for treatment and how knowledge about alterations in brain functioning changes the clinical approach to treatment.
