- Reciprocal Effects Between Negative Parenting and Children's Callous-Unemotional Traits From Mid to Late Childhoodby Patrizia Pezzoli on March 13, 2024

Therefore, repeated intensive interventions addressing multiple risk factors rather than negative parenting alone may be best positioned to support families of children with...
