Abstract
Adverse childhood experiences (ACE) are associated with short- and long-term negative physical and mental health consequences. The impact of ACE is influenced by numerous factors which are discussed in the current chapter. Outcomes related to experiencing ACE including neurological and physiological effects and subsequent emotional regulation outcomes are also discussed. The chapter goes on to examine a specific type of ACE, Child Maltreatment-ACE (CM-ACE), and the specific effects of this type of adverse experience as they relate to trauma responses including post-traumatic stress reactions and aggression.
