The childhood experience of care and abuse (CECA)

This chapter has two goals. The first is to consider the association of the three components of the Childhood Experience of Care and Abuse (CECA) with psychopathology among adolescents from refugee families living in the province of Quebec, Canada. The second is to discuss the use of the CECA in a transcultural setting and to illustrate the advantages and appropriateness of its contextual approach in research with informants from thirty-five different countries.
