Abstract: Abstract The fact that the relationships between psychological maltreatment, psychological adjustment, family communication and mental wellbeing have not been examined together in any longitudinal study has created a gap in the literature. In this study, a longitudinal design was used to examine whether psychological adjustment and family communication serially mediate the relationship between psychological maltreatment and mental wellbeing in a Turkish adults (age range = 19–63 years). Structural equation modelling (SEM) was used to test longitudinal serial mediation at two time waves SEM indicated that psychological adjustment and family communication have a longitudinal serial mediating role in the association between psychological maltreatment and mental wellbeing. Current research reveals that psychological adjustment and family communication are powerful tools for the wellbeing of those who have experienced psychological maltreatment.
