TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Child Maltreatment: Neglect to Abuse A1 - Asnes, Andrea G. A1 - Leventhal, John M. A2 - Kline, Mark W. PY - 2018 T2 - Rudolph's Pediatrics, 23e AB - The spectrum of parental feelings and behaviors toward children can extend from those that are positive and nurturing to those that are negative, harmful, and culturally unacceptable. At the negative extreme are behaviors that result in child maltreatment, including physical abuse, neglect, and sexual abuse. While most children are not abused or neglected, “normal” parents may have feelings and behaviors that may extend to those considered to be maltreatment. Thus, a parent’s anger at the child and use of physical punishment may border on physical abuse, ignoring the child and providing inadequate nurturance or supervision may border on neglect, and close bodily contact and sensual feelings toward the child may border on sexual abuse.
