  • Parental Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) in an Early Childhood Mental Health Outpatient Clinic in Germany

    Open AccessFranziska Laqua, Eva Möhler et al.ARTICLEChildren2025

    Parental adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are linked to negative outcomes in children, including emotional and behavioral problems, developmental delays, and higher risk for psychopathology.

Understanding parental ACEs in this population is crucial, as early childhood is a sensitive developmental pe…

The aim of the present study was to assess problematic internet use…

  • Preschool Temperament as a Factor of Risk and Protection for Later Childhood Psychopathology

    Open AccessFrank W Paulus, Eva Möhler et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2022

    Our data suggests that preschool temperament contributes differently to the development of externalizing and internalizing problems in childhood. The temperament factor frustration/anger in preschool children might be a strong predictor of the general mental condition in childhood at nine years of age and can therefore be used as a target for prevention of psychopathology in children. On one hand, high sensory sensitivity can be a predictor to id…

    Open AccessJens Joas, Eva MöhlerARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2021

However, there is hardly any empirical evidence. In particular, there is a lack prospective longitudinal studies. Methods: As part of a longitudinal study, bonding was assessed in a community sample of 97 healthy mothers using the Postpartum Bonding Questionnaire (PBQ) 6 weeks after…
