| | Physical Abuse of Children ::::: Welcome to ChildTrauma Academy ::::::::::: |
 | | It is not necessary for the harm to be intentionally inflicted, and in the majority of situations physical abuse is the unintentional end result of harsh disciplinary methods or corporal punishment that have escalated to point of physical injury or the risk of physical injury. | | | Parents also engage in physically abusive behaviors because they are unaware of effective parenting techniques. | | | In other studies examining risk for physical abuse, it is clear than any conditions that increase distress for the family, parent or disrupt interaction between parent and child will increase risk for physical abuse. |

| | Physical Abuse |
| | The impact of child abuse and neglect is often discussed in terms of physical, psychological, behavioral, and societal consequences. | | | Consequences of abuse and neglect, assessment of maltreatment, the therapeutic process and the role of the therapist, treatment issues and specialized interventions, and case management are addressed. | | | Physical abuse is inflicting a nonaccidental physical injury upon a child. |

| | When does physical punishment become physical abuse? |
| | Physical punishment of children for the purpose of discipline, by parents or caregivers, is permitted by law provided it falls within the bounds of 'reasonable chastisement', is seen as moderate and is administered for the purpose of correcting behaviour.4 'Reasonable chastisement' is a term which is difficult to define precisely. | | | The fact that our society is now concerned with the problem of child abuse does not mean that parents have suddenly taken to beating their children, but that our tolerance to child maltreatment has declined, and we are now appalled by acts to which our ancestors would have been indifferent. | | | Sometimes, however, physical discipline is intended to harm the child. |

| | eMedicine - Child Abuse & Neglect: Physical Abuse : Article by Angelo P Giardino, MD, PhD |
| | Physical: Physical examination of the child with an injury obviously is important, and the order of the complete examination is determined by the presenting condition of the child. | | | When physical force is used as a discipline technique (as in corporal punishment), the concern arises that if the misconduct continues even after corporal punishment is applied, the caregiver then may become angry and frustrated and reapply the physical force. | | | Corporal punishment is defined as a discipline method that uses physical force as a behavioral modifier. |

| | Elder Abuse and Neglect: In Search of Solutions |
| | Although the behavior can be explained by the impairment, it is still unacceptable. | | | The first and most important step toward preventing elder abuse is to recognize that no one—of whatever age—should be subjected to violent, abusive, humiliating, or neglectful behavior. | | | When caregivers are thrust into the demands of daily care for an elder without appropriate training and without information about how to balance the needs of the older person with their own needs, they frequently experience intense frustration and anger that can lead to a range of abusive behaviors. |

| | Physical Abuse |
| | The longer the abuse continues, the more serious the injuries to the child and the more difficult it is to eliminate the abusive behavior. | | | While any of these injuries can occur accidentally when a child is at play, physical abuse should be suspected if the explanations do not fit the injury or if a pattern of frequency is apparent. | | | Inflicted physical injury most often represents unreasonable, severe corporal punishment or unjustifiable punishment. |

| | Psychologists' Sexual & Physical Abuse History |
| | Some practitioners, of course, may experience the opposite response: An experience of a particular kind of abuse in their personal lives might have been so devastatingly painful and disruptive that they seek to avoid working with clients who have encountered similar abuse. | | | It must be kept in mind that a practitioner's history of abuse was not found to be related to evaluations of graduate or internship programs or to perceived competence. | | | When graduate programs, internships, and other training programs address forms of abuse that many students and faculty might have personally experienced, it is especially important that all individuals' appropriate rights to privacy be adequately respected and protected. |
