psychological abuse article

[Guest guest]

Today I came across this short article about information

published in the August issue of the journal Pediatrics on how

psychological abuse affects

children -

http://scienceblog.com/55828/psychological-abuse-puts-children-at-risk/>.

" Child abuse experts say psychological abuse can be as damaging

to a young child's physical, mental and emotional health as a

slap, punch or kick. "

" Psychological abuse includes acts such as belittling,

denigrating, terrorizing, exploiting, emotional

unresponsiveness, or corrupting a child to the point a child's

well-being is at risk... "

Doesn't that description sound familiar?
