Childhood Emotional Abuse

All therapists know about child's mental abuse, but only a few therapists understand the scope of the problem. Emotional abuse is harder to find than other forms of abuse. It is best to prove when Child Protection Services (CPS) conducts a family assessment, since parents are very open to this topic and no physical evidence is left by emotional abuse. It is a difficult form. But it certainly will affect the child's pride, promote guilt, anxiety, and will bring a stable relationship in adulthood.

In recent years, researchers are beginning to study the relationship between child's mental abuse and the subsequent sexual assault. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the emotional abuse of childhood may include "child's self-worthy or emotional health hazards such as abuse, humiliation, rejection, concealment of love and threats" There is sex (Leeb et al., 2008). Exposure to psychological abuse during childhood is a negative emotion such as anger or irritability (Teicher et al., 2006), difficulties in adult relationship (Davis, Petretic-Jackson and Ting, 2001, and Perry, DiLillo ), And Peugh. , 2007). Therefore, researchers hypothesized that child's mental abuse may be related to subsequent sexual assault. Although the number is still limited, the research found a link between emotional abuse and sexual assault among adults.
