Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are defined as early exposure to maltreatment and household dysfunction. Researchers have demonstrated the link between ACEs and negative psychological, behavioral, interpersonal, and health outcomes. A growing area of interest in the ACE literature concerns the relationship between ACEs, parenting, and child psychopathology due to the intergenerational effect of ACEs. Emotional availability and discipline strategies are two domains of parenting that can increase understanding of the associations between ACEs, parenting, and child psychopathology from an attachment framework because they are both salient during early childhood and directly influence a child’s later behavior. This paper utilized the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines to elucidate the relationships between parental ACEs, parents’ emotional availability and discipline strategies, and children’s psychopathology. PubMed, PSYCINFO, and Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection were used to access the literature on June 16, 2020, and 26 studies met the inclusion criteria. Results from this review suggested that there is a direct association between ACEs and parental emotional availability and discipline techniques. Depression and dissociation were identified as potential mediators. There was support for the direct association between parental ACEs and children’s internalizing and externalizing difficulties. Maternal anxiety and depressive symptoms, emotional availability, attachment, and children’s maltreatment experiences were found to be possible mediators. Recommendations are proposed to address limitations within the literature to further expand upon the research of ACEs, parenting, and child psychopathology.

不良童年经历（ACE）被定义为早期遭受虐待和家庭功能障碍。研究人员已经证明了 ACE 与负面心理、行为、人际关系和健康结果之间的联系。由于 ACE 的代际效应，ACE 文献中越来越多的人关注 ACE、养育和儿童精神病理学之间的关系。情感可用性和管教策略是养育的两个领域，可以从依恋框架中增进对 ACE、养育和儿童精神病理学之间关联的理解，因为它们在幼儿期都很突出，并直接影响孩子以后的行为。本文利用系统评价和荟萃分析的首选报告项目 (PRISMA) 指南来阐明父母 ACE、父母情绪可用性和管教策略以及儿童精神病理学之间的关系。使用PubMed、PSYCINFO和Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection检索2020年6月16日的文献，有26项研究符合纳入标准。该综述的结果表明，ACE 与父母的情绪可用性和管教技巧之间存在直接关联。抑郁和解离被认为是潜在的中介因素。有人支持父母的 ACE 与孩子的内化和外化困难之间存在直接联系。研究发现，母亲的焦虑和抑郁症状、情感可用性、依恋以及儿童的虐待经历可能是中介因素。建议解决文献中的局限性，以进一步扩展 ACE、育儿和儿童精神病理学的研究。
