Emotional abuse and neglect: time to focus on prevention and mental health consequences. Br J Psychiatry. 2020 Sep 07;:1-3 Authors: Kumari V Abstract Emotional abuse and emotional neglect are among the most prevalent of childhood maltreatment types and associated with a range of poor mental health outcomes. We need to move beyond correlational research and shift our focus to sophisticated multimodal studies to fully understand the psychobiological mechanisms underlying these associations and to intervention studies.
