| Title |
Long-Term Effects of Adverse Childhood Experiences in Adulthood and Approaches to Prevention and Intervention |
| Description |
The seminar provides an overview of the forms and consequences of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), as well as possibilities for prevention and intervention. It begins with an introduction to different subtypes of ACEs, including emotional and physical abuse and neglect, sexual violence, witnessing domestic violence, and peer victimisation. Participants will examine definitions, key characteristics, risk factors, and the dynamics of these experiences.
A further focus of the seminar is on the consequences of ACEs. In this context, possible psychological and physical disorders associated with ACEs will be discussed. Particular attention will be given to mechanisms that help explain the long-term effects of ACEs. These include biological stress responses such as changes in the HPA axis and the autonomic nervous system, genetic and epigenetic influences, and brain development. The seminar will also address the impact of ACEs on emotions and emotion regulation. In addition, social factors such as internal working models, social information processing, and social competencies will be explored. Finally, protective factors that enable positive development despite adverse experiences will be considered.
The seminar concludes with a discussion of selective and indicated prevention measures and interventions for adults with ACEs. Psychotherapeutic treatment approaches for long-term consequences of childhood maltreatment will also be examined.
In addition to theoretical input, the seminar emphasises active student participation through presentations, discussions, group exercises, and case examples. Overall, the seminar aims to foster a nuanced understanding of this complex topic, encourage critical reflection on scientific evidence, and highlight the importance of prevention, early identification, and appropriate intervention.
