Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study

The devastating impact of childhood abuse, neglect and massively dysfunctional households can be life-long. And the growing prevalence of children negatively affected by adverse life experiences is absolutely remarkable...

The ground-breaking Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study was designed to answer two very simple questions:

1. How common are adverse childhood experiences in the general public?

2. How do they play out long-term?

The results of the study are shocking, and extremely relevant to therapy today...

In this PDF, Dr. Vincent Felitti, the co-principal investigator of the internationally recognized ACE Study and world-renowned childhood trauma expert, discusses the research, clinical implications and applications in mental health practice today.
