Individual differences in attachment, adverse childhood experiences and mental health

This study is looking to recruit candidates aged over 18 to investigate how people’s current mental health symptoms (including Depersonalisation and Derealisation) may be rooted in their past experiences and relationships with close others. For more information, please email lead researcher Dr Helge Gillmeister.

If you decide to partake in this study, you will be asked to complete an online survey, with questions about yourself and your mental health symptoms, your current experiences of close relationships, any adverse childhood experiences you may have had and how those might still affect you today (post-traumatic stress).

This project has been reviewed on behalf of the University of Essex Sub-Committee 1 and has been given approval with the following Application ID: ETH2223-1827.
