psychology, Dr. Grace Graham established Charis Counseling and
Psychological Services in Plano, Texas. In her practice as a psychologist,
Dr. Grace Graham often focuses on emotional abuse.
For children, emotional abuse is considered to be the neglect or emotional
maltreatment of a child, and it can involve the intentional frightening of the
child or efforts to ignore or confine him or her to solitude. While emotional
abuse may be concurrent with other forms of abuse, such as physical, this is
not always necessarily the case.
Long-term emotional abuse can result in severe impairment a child’s
emotional development, and they will often feel unloved as they get older
and define their worth in terms of how they serve someone else’s needs.
Ridiculing a child’s attempts to express their opinions is also considered
abusive and will lead to lowered self-esteem.
