Abstract
“Psychological maltreatment is the most omnipresent form of child maltreatment that results from the relationship between a parent and child, the interaction of concerns shaping the relationships, and potentially harmful interactions with severe impairment on a child's emotional and developmental health … It also refers to a repeated pattern of behavior that expresses to children that they are worthless, unwanted, unloved, or only of value in meeting another's needs, which leads to lasting damage to their well-being and development”. The worldwide prevalence of psychological/emotional maltreatment was estimated in nearly 36% of children. The prevalence of this type of maltreatment is particularly high in East Asia and the Pacific Region (ranging from 31.3% [Korea] to 68.5% [China]).
