- Abstract
Childhood abuse is a serious problem in every country, leaving children with impaired social functioning and an increased risk of concurrent and subsequent psychopathology. Through a literature review approach, this paper discusses childhood abuse in the family and school and assesses the impact of the abuse on children. In addition, the review explores how to effectively intervene in the occurrence of abuse in advance and how to quickly resolve the abuse that has already occurred, as well as what treatments or therapy can help abused children. The findings revealed that children who are bullied have more common and frequent physical and mental problems, such as sleep problems and depression. In the longer term, abuse makes children more likely to become addicted to drugs in adulthood and to develop social adaptations problem. Cognitive behavior therapy and trauma-focused cognitive behavioural therapy are found to be good treatments for mental disorders following abuse, although social support is also crucial. Focusing on abuse against children can improve children’s healthy development.
