Resources re. (critique of) critique of ACEs

Marianne Vanderveen-Kolkena IBCLC, MScMember

Dear all,

We are about to launch the Dutch ACE-Aware-website and have already started with the Facebook-page and twitter-account. Today, some critical tweets came in, calling the ACEs-science 'pseudoscience'. I know there is critique related to the concept and I still have to read the article by Robert Anda (this March) in which he addresses this, but is there a list of articles or links where both the critique AND the answers to the critique can be found? I would like to dive into that more deeply in order to be able to understand both views and to counter critical sounds that lack solid arguments and thus increase the risk of, again, the importance of a secure childhood with attention for basic biopsychosocial needs being trumped.

Many thanks in advance for guiding me to the right sources!

Warmly,

Marianne Vanderveen-Kolkena IBCLC, MSc
