Method: We explore the relationship between caregivers’ adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), post-traumatic symptomatology and initial therapeutic alliance using descriptive, correlational and moderation analyses. Results: 51.7% of caregivers reported ACEs. The greater the presence of ACEs, the lower the quality of the initial therapeutic alliance. Caregivers who experienced ACEs and reported fewer symptoms of post-traumatic stress presented a lower quality of therapeutic alliance. Discussion: The findings suggest that ACEs may provoke dissociative mechanisms in adults and that this appears to interfere with the emotional response to their child’s abusive experience and with the possibility of establishing a positive therapeutic alliance with the child’s therapist. This emphasizes the need that these adults have for therapeutic support as part of a comprehensive and specialized care model.</p>","PeriodicalId":501410,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Psychology","volume":"104 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138521048","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Initially, therapists’ close, flexible attitude improved children’s and parents’ motivation for psychotherapy. Later, a child-centred, playful relationship fostered children’s affection and trust in the therapists, promoting emotional and socio-affective changes. Lastly, as a greater bond developed, children internalized the therapist as a significant figure, and deeper changes emerged. Parents’ changes were eased by further trust and collaboration in the relationship with the therapist, and changes in the child-parent relationship emerged.
