TY - JOUR PY - 2023// TI - Key updates to understanding roles of childhood trauma in overall health JO - AMA journal of ethics A1 - Weleff, Jeremy A1 - Potter, Dawn SP - E116 EP - 122 VL - 25 IS - 2 N2 - While adverse childhood experiences and trauma, including childhood abuse and neglect, have often been viewed from the lens of psychiatry, their influence on physical health, health behaviors, and factors that moderate health now garner more attention. This article reviews recent literature that has changed clinical and social viewpoints on child abuse and neglect and can be used as a primer to better understand (1) influences of child abuse and neglect on physical illness; (2) critical diagnostic advances relevant to persons who have experienced child abuse and neglect; and (3) ethical, research, and practical questions generated by these new understandings.
