CHILD ABUSE. CASE STUDY

Abstract

The family represents for the child, the universe of his existence, and the parents, the family are the stability poles of this universe. When the family environment, rather than being one of comfort and safety becomes a place of deprivation, pain and violence, the child is the one who will suffer the most from the effects of these disorders and conflicts. This work refers to the counselling of abused children and includes a case study on a case of sexual abuse of a minor. We offer practical suggestions on how parents and school can intervene in the education of children so that they grow to become happy, balanced and efficient adults. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
