The Effects of Emotional Abuse and Neglect in Adulthood

Abstract

Are neglected and maltreated children more likely to have homicidal tendencies? 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.
