A review is made of research connecting personality disorder in parents to child maltreatment and/or child mental health problems.

However, parental personality disorders can also affect children's behavior through genetic transmission, hence while parental personality disorders are risk flags in custody assessments, parental behavior toward the child remains an essential target of assessment.
