Childhood emotional abuse (CEA) appears to be more novel in the research world in comparison to physical and sexual abuse. However, with the research that has been conducted, there are clear suggestions that CEA has similar, if not more severe, consequences to childhood physical abuse (CPA) and childhood sexual abuse (CSA) (Gibb, Chelminski, & Zimmerman, 2007). For instance, research by Gibb and associates (2007) found that participants who reported experiencing CEA were more likely to also have
In the “Snoodle’s Tale” (Pitts, 2004), there were obvious examples of emotional abuse to the main character on the abilities or lack thereof to fly and paint. The people mocked Snoodle-Doo and in the mocking, drew placed the mocking into the backpack. This clearly is a metaphor for how people carry with them the baggage that is derived from the criticisms that we receive from society. Of course, the earlier a person receives these critiques can and will affect how they view themselves. Especially
Karofsky unless he physically attacks Kurt. Consequently, you can tell she feels sympathy for him and feels bad for not being able to do anything. This is not helpful at all, so unless Kurt’s beaten up they can’t do anything to help him from the emotional abuse that is happening. Furthermore, in the episode, the glee club girls with jock boyfriends ask them to defend Kurt, in which one refuses in
posttraumatic stress after spousal emotional abuse. Women who have experienced this type of abuse long-after the relationship has ended still are emotionally wounded, fragile and need long-term therapy (Reed & Enright, 2006). This type of abuse destroys trust and communication in the relationship as well as causes one partner within the relationship to feel powerless (Reed & Enright, 2006). Researchers have identified several associated behaviors and outcomes of emotional abuse and the impact it has over

Of Child Abuse On The Emotional Development Of The Infant To Five Years Old Child In The United States. Child abuse is one of the most serious issues in the United States today. Child abuse is generally the maltreatment of a minor, and includes a physical, emotional or psychological harm to a child. Neglecting a minor is another type of abuse such as malnutrition, abandonment, and inadequate care of a child’s safety. Additionally, any neglectful act can lead to physical or emotional harm and in
Depression, Anxiety, and Posttraumatic Stress for Women after Spousal Emotional Abuse” by Gayle Reed and Robert Enright covered the topic of spousal abuse and forgiveness. This article focused on emotional and psychological spousal abuse and included how the abuse effected the victim. “Follingstad, Rutledge, Berg, Hause, and Polek (1990) and Sack- ett and Saunders (1999) have identified at least seven categories of spousal psychological abuse: criticizing, ridiculing, jealous control, purposeful ignoring
horrible abusive relationships? What do we tell those that have been raped? What about child abuse or child neglect? If you see your spouse in that situation with your children are you supposed to let it go on only because it’s not adultery? I believe that this is one of the things that make what Jesus said so unclear. There are many situations that require the action of removal. Physical and emotional abuse are two very, very clear cases for this. When a spouse is actively attacking the other with
The Final Straw Emotional abuse happens just as much as physical abuse in relationships, although most times the mental effects of emotional abuse are far less noticeable than the cuts and bruises of physical abuse. I found it very interesting that Susan Glaspell based her play “Trifles” off of a murder trial she reported on when she worked for a Des Moines newspaper. If you read the play not knowing it was written in 1916, the plot of the play sounds as if it could very well have come from a
A patient is admitted to your floor with a history of alcohol abuse with emotional instability. The patient’s family reports they have noticed many changes in their loved ones life and presence. They report moods where he or she was overly joyous and then shifted to severe anger. As a nurse you wonder is there something else causing the patient’s emotional shifts. Bipolar disorder is a serious mental disorder that is characterized by sudden intense shifts in mood, behavior and energy levels (Dual
