This continuing professional development (CPD) paper examines a potential social work intervention case study, using the example of Turkey, aimed at preventing forced marriage among children experiencing forced migration. Dealing with the problem of child marriage requires a multidimensional effort. Professionals working in the field need to be knowledgeable about risk factors and early warning signs, as well as different sociocultural and economic contexts. It is critical to have the flexibility to apply system theory, ecological approach and empowerment-based interventions at the micro, mezzo and macro levels.

To address these gaps, this study applied network analysis to examine how ACEs, including expanded indicators, are structurally organised among youth in correctional facilities in South Korea. Sixteen ACEs were assessed, comprising the 10 traditional ACEs of abuse, neglect and household dysfunction and six expanded indicators that reflect community-level adversity, such as exposure to violence and discrimination. Sex-specific networks were estimated to identify close links among adversities and to explore how these experiences were structurally configured within each group. Across both male and female youth, strong links appeared within maltreatment, for example, between physical and emotional abuse and between physical and emotional neglect and also between community violence and discrimination. The male network showed a larger number of direct links and a more diffuse structure, whereas the female network displayed clearer segmentation, with traditional and expanded ACEs forming distinct clusters. Some connections that occurred through other adversities were also observed, indicating that experiences in different domains were linked through intermediate ones. These findings highlight both shared and sex-specific structural patterns across traditional and expanded ACEs among youth in correctional facilities in a non–Western setting. They suggest that screening and intervention efforts should consider not only whether adversity is present but also how adverse experiences are connected.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47371,"journal":{"name":"Child Abuse Review","volume":"35 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2026-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148386826","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, borderline personality disorder (BPD) remains an overlooked intermediary in this pathway, despite sharing aetiological roots and symptom overlap with PTSD. This study examined whether BPD and PTSD serially mediate the association between CM and IPV victimisation in adult Australian women. A sample of 123 self-identified female IPV victims completed validated self-report measures assessing CM, BPD features, PTSD symptoms, and IPV experiences. Serial mediation analysis indicated that CM was associated with BPD features, which in turn were associated with more severe PTSD symptomatology, subsequently associated with increased IPV victimisation. CM was also directly associated with IPV victimisation, indicating partial mediation. These findings challenge conventional diagnostic assumptions and suggest many IPV victims may receive incomplete treatment when BPD features are not assessed alongside PTSD. Results underscore the importance of comprehensive screening for both BPD and PTSD in trauma-exposed populations. Early identification and destigmatised assessment of BPD, combined with trauma-informed interventions, may reduce long-term psychiatric consequences and reduce the risk of revictimisation.</p>","PeriodicalId":47371,"journal":{"name":"Child Abuse Review","volume":"35 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/car.70136","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148237920","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
