Sumario:Background: We provide the first validation data of the Spanish version of the Egna Minnen Beträffande Uppfostran-Child Version (EMBU-C) in a clinical context. The EMBU-C is a 41-item self-report questionnaire that assesses perceived parental rearing style in children, comprising 4 subscales (rejection, emotional warmth, control attempts/overprotection, and favoring subjects).
