Abstract:
This commentary examines the paper in this issue by Hostutler et al. (2023), ACE Screening in Adolescent Primary Care: Psychological Flexibility as a Moderator. This article shows how important it is to screen psychological flexibility. Going forward, clinicians would benefit from understanding the relationship between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), psychological flexibility, and other common presenting issues, such as anxiety, eating disorders, and school refusal. And then extend the findings of ACE and psychological flexibility screening into trauma-informed care. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved).
