Abstract

Childhood abuse is a social problem that is associated with many negative outcomes later in life such as an increased risk for suicide attempts, depression, and problems with communication skills. Because physical and emotional abuse are significantly correlated, it is often difficult to determine the impact of the physical versus emotional aspects of the maltreatment. This study explores the extent to which both physical and emotional abuse are associated with parenting attitudes, disciplinary choices, and risk for later abusive parenting. Additionally, this study examines the extent to which deficits in parental empathy that result from abuse may lead to parenting practices that place parents at risk for later abuse perpetration.
