A Major Threat to Children's Mental Health: Psychological Maltreatment.
Hart, Stuart N.; Brassard, Marla R.
American Psychologist, v42 n2 p160-65 Feb 1987

However, it receives little attention from the public or professional sector. This article reviews the literature and concludes that psychological maltreatment is the core issue in child maltreatment. (Author/LHW)
