Reply to "Building the case for change: Surveying primary care practices in trauma screening"

I think you would do better looking at neglect in infancy, figuring out ways to make sure you can find it and determining the quality of the attachment relationship at that time.  We always miss neglect in infancy and we miss emotional abuse.   No adult can retrospectively remember or even understand that she was neglected and emotionally abused as a baby. 

But emotional neglect in infancy creates the origins of dissociation, avoidance, fractured and incomplete sense of self, an inability to regulate affect, lack of empathy, violence towards self and others and personality disorders, in essence, everything we need to prevent.
