What is it about?
This study is about fathers’ possible adverse childhood experiences and their attachment style in pregnancy, and whether such items may forecast fathers' perception of child behavior at age 12 months.

Why is it important?
This work suggests that fathers' adverse childhood experiences as well as their antenatal avoidant attachment style are related to negatively perceived child behavior. These associations seem to be mediated by parental postpartum mental health.
Perspectives
I see Thomas' work as good reason for initiating family intervention in pregnancy when indicated by the exhibition of antenatal risk factors.
