“…When it occurs exclusively, it may have more adverse impact on the child and on later adult psychological functioning than the psychological consequences of physical abuse, especially with respect to such measures as depression and self-esteem, 7 aggression, delinquency, or interpersonal problems. 8 Isolated psychological maltreatment has had the lowest rate of substantiation of any type of child maltreatment. In the 1997 Child Maltreatment national report, 1 psychological maltreatment ("emotional maltreatment") was reported in 6.1% of 817 665 reports received from 43 states.…”

“…8 A 1995 telephone survey suggested that by the time a child was 2 years old, 90% of families asked had used 1 or more forms of psychological aggression in the previous 12 months. This same survey revealed that 10% to 20% of toddlers and 50% of teenagers experience severe aggression (eg, curs-ing, threatening to send the child away, calling the child dumb or such other belittling names).…”

“…There are a few retrospective studies among adult men and women about childhood experiences of physical abuse (PA) and emotional abuse (EA): childhood EA and PA seem to be more common among boys than girls, while prevalence of childhood SA is reported to be higher among girls than boys (Gorey & Leslie, 1997;Leth, Stenvig, & Pedersen, 1988;MacMillan et al, 1997;Sariola & Uutela, 1994;Schei, Muus, & Bendixen, 1994;Vissing, Straus, Gelles, & Harrop, 1991).

The aim of the present study was to estimate the prevalence of and current suffering from emotional abuse (EA), physical abuse (PA), and sexual abuse (SA) and abuse in health care (AHC) among male Swedish patients and compare prevalences of abuse between female and male patients at a Swedish university hospital. For data collection we used the NorVold Abuse Questionnaire, which has been validated in a female sample and in the present study. The lifetime prevalences were EA = 12.8%, PA = 45.7%, SA = 3.8%, and AHC = 8.1%. Current suffering from abuse among participants was 1% to 9%. The women reported higher rates than men of current suffering from all kinds of abuse and more severe forms of abuse, such as life-threatening PA. Health care staff should be aware of the documented high prevalences of abuse and learn to make good judgments as to when to ask male as well as female patients about experiences of abuse.

“…Estos datos hay que situarlos en la polémica suscitada en la literatura entre los autores que defienden que, en función del subtipo de maltrato recibido, se provocan unas consecuencias específicas (de Paúl y Arruabarrena, 1995;Hoffman-Plotkin y Twentyman, 1984;McGee et al, 1997;Mullen et al, 1996;Vissing et al, 1991), frente a aquellos autores que encuentran que el efecto del maltrato es multidimensional y global, independientemente del subtipo de maltrato experimentado (por ejemplo, Prino y Peyrot, 1994). En este sentido, una hipótesis altamente defendida es aquella que relaciona el maltrato físico con las conductas desadaptativas externalizadas y el maltrato por abandono con conductas desadaptativas internalizadas (Hoffman-Plotkin y Twentyman, 1984;Wodarski et al, 1990), conclusión no siempre avalada por los datos empíricos (Brown, 1984;de Paúl y Arruabarrena, 1995;Wodarski, Kurtz, Gaudin, y Howing, 1990).…”

Objetivo: El presente trabajo trata de analizar las consecuencias del maltrato y la relación esperable, según la literatura consultada, con los problemas de conducta en una muestra de menores acogidos en un centro de protección de la provincia de Sevilla (España). Método: La muestra estuvo constituida por un grupo de sujetos maltratados en situación de protección (n1 = 30) y dos grupos de comparación equivalentes (n2 = 30 y n3 = 30). El primero de estos grupos testigo quedó conformado por sujetos residentes en una zona marginal de Sevilla similar al lugar de procedencia del grupo de estudio y el segundo grupo pertenecı́a a una zona acomodada de esta ciudad. Se utilizó como instrumento el listado de problemas de conducta CBC Achenbach 1978; Achenbach 1979 ; Achenbach and Edelbrock 1983). Resultados: No se alcanzaron diferencias significativas entre los grupos en la puntuación total del CBC, pero sı́ en el factor de banda ancha externalizante y en los factores delincuencia, ansiedad somática, problemas somáticos, delincuencia no-sociabilidad y retraimiento social. Se halló que el tipo de maltrato por corrupción destacó en el total de la prueba CBC, en el factor de segundo orden externalizante y en los dos elementos que engloban la delincuencia. Conclusiones: Los jóvenes que han experimentado maltrato y, además, se hallan institucionalizados, exhiben en mayor medida conductas externalizadas (conductas delictivas en sus dos formas), al tiempo que conductas de retraimiento. El análisis de los subtipos de maltrato sugiere que el principal responsable de las manifestaciones psicopatológicas procede de la categorı́a de corrupción junto con el abandono o con el maltrato emocional.Purpose: The present study tries to analyse the maltreatment effects and the expected relation, according to the reviewed literature, with behaviour problems in a sample of children in residential care in a protection centre in Seville county (Spain). Method: The sample was conformed by a group of maltreated subjects in a protection setting (n = 30) and two groups of equivalent comparison (n = 30 and n = 30). The first group was conformed by subjects living in a marginal area of Sevilla, similar to the origin setting of the study group, and the second group comes from a wealthy area of this city. The behaviour problems index CBC of Achenbach 1978; Achenbach 1979 ; Achenbach and Edelbrock 1983) was used. Results: No significant differences between groups in the CBC total score was found. However, significant differences were found in the extemalising dimension and in the delinquency, somatic anxiety, somatic problems, and social withdrawal dimensions. Victims of corruption presented higher scores on the CBC total score, extemalising dimension, and delinquency. Conclusions: Young people, victims of child maltreatment and living in an institution, showed problems of withdrawal. Victims of corruption or emotional abuse presented more psychopathological problemsObjectif: Cette étude essaie d’analyser les effets des mauvais traiteme...
