Description

Adulthood is a time of change, thus stressful. A predetermining factor to this is a provision for a safe environment during the crucial years of life (childhood). Children make meanings of everything and are more dynamic in the early developmental years. It is a basis for their overall development and defines their coping mechanisms during adulthood. Therefore, if they develop faulty meanings of themselves, others, and the world at large, it can alter their abilities to function during adulthood. It is fundamental to understand the psychological well-being and personality traits in adulthood by this very nature of traumatic experiences in childhood. This paper is a conceptual framework discussing a three-tier model to retrospectively understand the impact of childhood trauma on psychological distress and personality pathology in adulthood. This paper suggests future research to focus on developing intervention and prevention models for young adults (childhood trauma survivors) on positive parenting practices.
