dc.description.abstractBackground: Caregivers of children who have experienced sexual abuse often exhibit a higher prevalence of insecure attachments and early adverse experiences in childhood, which may influence the psychological symptoms presented in children. Objective: Evaluate the role of attachment pattern of non-offending caregivers in the relationship between their own experiences of emotional neglect during childhood and the clinical symptomatology in children under their care undergoing treatment for sexual abuse. Participants and Setting: This study evaluated the role of attachment in the relationship between experiences of childhood emotional neglect in 78 caregivers and clinical symptomatology in children aged 4 to 9 undergoing treatment for sexual abuse. Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional and correlational study was conducted, with moderation analysis. Therelationship between emotional neglect (CTQ) and child symptomatology (SDQ) was analyzed, evaluating the moderating role of caregiver attachment avoidance and anxiety (ECR). Findings: The results showed a 50 % prevalence of dismissive or avoidant attachments and a 12 % prevalence ofcaregivers with significant experiences of childhood emotional neglect. Positive associations were found between the caregiver’s emotional neglect and children’s symptoms, as well as between the caregiver’s attachment avoidance and children’s symptoms. The association between emotional neglect and children’s symptoms was observed when caregivers exhibited moderate and low levels of avoidance.
