Prof. Bernet Elzinga and her group conduct research into the influence of trauma and stress on affective, social and cognitive functions in the context of stress-related disorders, including depression and anxiety. Prof. Bernet Elzinga and her group conduct research into the influence of trauma and stress on affective, social and cognitive functions in the context of stress-related disorders, including depression and anxiety. Intergenerational research has her special interest, especially the communication between parents and children and factors that can contribute to reducing the negative consequences of trauma or stress. With her interdisciplinary research she integrates epidemiological research, neuroimaging, behavioral observations and reports of behavior and feelings in daily life (using electronic diaries). She is also involved in the development of interventions for parents of young people with depressive symptoms. She has received various grants for her research, including VENI, VIDI, VICI and she contributes as a PI to the Gravitation program "New Science of Mental Disorders". In addition to her research, she regularly gives lectures, teaches bachelor and master Psychology students, and is involved in various trajectories related to leadership development.

Main Research Interests
The main focus of my research is how early life stress can chronically shape emotional, physiological and brain responses and social behavior, therewith increasing the sensitivity to stress-related disorders (depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder) in adulthood. My work is strongly interdisciplinary in nature. I integrate knowledge from social neuroscience, stress physiology (cortisol, BDNF), and experimental psychopathology and combine this with an epidemiological approach. This enables me to disentangle the impact of various forms of maltreatment on adult depression and anxiety and their associations with alterations in the brain, consistently pointing to the pervasive impact of childhood emotional maltreatment.
To further elucidate the processes underlying maladaptive family interactions, we established the ‘Leiden Family Lab’ (https://www.leidenfamilylab.nl). Here, we have conducted a large 3-generation study on the intergenerational transmission of maltreatment, including observations of parent-child interactions and neuroimaging. My lab’s ongoing work (the RE-PAIR study) predominantly focuses on the role of parent-child interactions in the development, maintenance and treatment of depression in adolescent. Here, we apply a similar multi-method approach, integrating observations on parent-child interactions in the lab and in daily life, using electronic diaries, with ecologically valid fMRI tasks that mimic parent-child interactions. With the recently acquired Gravitation project, we aim to develop new statistical models to analyse how individual networks of symptoms and behaviors interact.
