Focusing on the complexities of emotional abuse, the book explores its recognition as a significant factor in children's mental health issues. It examines varying perspectives on emotional abuse, from its pervasive presence in Western child-rearing practices to its association with dysfunctional families. By proposing an ecological model, the author emphasizes the importance of understanding cultural contexts and the continuum of abuse severity. This approach aims to equip social workers with the tools needed to identify and assist at-risk children, potentially preventing future psychological harm.
