There are many studies thatshow how sexual abuse and physical abuse can lead to domestic and sexual violence as an adult but not manystudies have shown how verbal abuse or emotional maltreatment can lead to having homicidal tendencies. Inthis study I will show how emotional abuse can cause children to have cognitive deficits that prevent them frommaking correct, moral decisions in adulthood.

It is the duty of every healthcare professional to ensure they prioritise the welfare of a child by protecting them from physical or psychological harm. Forms of child abuse include physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse and neglect. A child subjected to emotional abuse or neglect can present with ambiguous symptoms, making the abuse difficult to detect. Safeguarding concerns must be acted upon according to local procedures, guided by the child safeguarding lead and the practice safeguarding policy. Safeguarding multidisciplinary meetings can be an effective way of communicating with various professionals involved with the family.

Psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) may be defined as paroxysmal changes in behavior that are similar to epileptic seizures but are not associated with quantifiable alterations in the electrical activity of the brain. At the Epilepsy Surgery Program (ESP) of the São Lucas Hospital at PUCRS (HSL-PUCRS), we studied 52 individuals (37 females and 15 males) with a diagnosis of PNES, associated (57%) or not (23%) with refractory epileptic seizures. We found emotional abuse (100%), physical abuse (80%), emotional neglect (80%), physical negligence (70%) and sexual abuse (30%), mood (40%) and anxiety disorders (50%), as the main psychological components in such population. Although the medical and psychosocial impact of PNES can be estimated as significant, the absence of specialized services for its treatment is striking. Multiple diagnostic and therapeutic procedures and the participation of a specialized multidisciplinary team – where neuropsychology functions as a link between the mental processes/psychopathologies and the brain – are required to ensure proper management of such cases.

Emotional maltreatment is a form of child abuse that may leave no physical scars, but has deep and long-term consequences. When compared to the effects of physical and sexual abuse, its impact has been historically neglected by researchers, despite its existence in all other forms of maltreatment. Beyond its recipient, the alarming effects of emotional abuse are believed to overcome even trans-generational barriers within the household. This poses great risks to the developmental outcomes of children having undergone these circumstances and their future kin. As such, this brief review will describe the signs of emotional maltreatment, its effects, and what can be done to address it.

The recognized spectrum of child abuse and neglect has expanded enormously since the original description of the battered child syndrome by Kempe et al, in 1962.1 In addition to physical abuse, we now realize that sexual abuse and nutritional neglect, as well as emotional abuse and neglect of children are problems of considerable magnitude. Another form of child abuse reported with increasing frequency is the intentional poisoning of children. Although this form of child abuse was mentioned by Kempe et al1 in their original report, it has only recently received more recognization and attention. Because of several unique characteristics, some authors2-4 favor considering intentional poisoning as a distinct subgroup of child abuse.

Abuse and maltreatment of children is a growing statistic. Each year, more than 3 million reports of alleged maltreatment are made to Child Protective Service agencies, suggesting that approximately six million children, or 11% of all U.S. students in K-12 schools, experience some form of maltreatment annually.8 While not all reported cases are investigated or substantiated, many instances of maltreatment go unreported; thus, the prevalence of maltreatment may be even higher. There are at least four major types of maltreatment: physical abuse, emotional abuse (or psychological maltreatment), neglect, and sexual abuse. It is important to note that these forms of maltreatment can occur separately or in combination with another. Given the unique characteristics and consequences associated with these various forms of maltreatment, this chapter will focus primarily on physical and emotional abuse. Other chapters in this volume will discuss sexual abuse (Chapter 13) and neglect (Chapter 14) in more details – readers working with students affected by physical and emotional abuse are encouraged to also review both of these other chapters for additional strategies.
