I finished my second Master's in Clinical Psychology at Utrecht University and my thesis project that I did under the supervision of Dr. Marjolein Missler focused on the relationship between mother's trauma experiences from their childhood and their infant's temperamental characteristics. The results showed that indeed mother's childhood trauma is related with their infant's "difficult" temperamental characteristics. Here is an additional result: This relationship is much less for the mothers who have moderately or highly involved partners. So, fathers, your physical, instrumental, and emotional involvement and support at home is not only great for your child's development but also important for reducing -if not breaking- the negative effects of intergenerational trauma.
