Early life maltreatment can have severe and long-lasting consequences for the directly affected individual as well as for the next generation. Data from our research including mother-child dyads from Heidelberg and Berlin showed that early life maltreatment is associated with behavioral, hormonal and neural changes including personality traits and attachment style of the affected mothers that negatively affect their relationship with their child. The children of these mothers with previous experience of violence have an elevated risk to be maltreated, to show delayed development and to develop mental disorders. They also show a heightened cortisol concentration and reduced control of inhibition. It seems to be of importance whether the mother has experienced early life maltreatment but is resilient, i.e., she has not developed a mental disorder (up to the time of examination), or whether in addition to the early life maltreatment she has developed a mental disorder later in life. Children of mothers with early life experience of maltreatment and a mental disorder seem to be especially exposed to stress in parenthood and show the greatest impairments and risks. Based on the existing data from research, the practical and clinical implications are discussed and one possible intervention in terms of training of mentalization competency for parents is presented.
