“…Em relação aos objetivos destes artigos analisados, encontrou-se que 18 destes (35,3%) investigaram a exposição à violência psicológica na infância correlacionando-a a diversas variáveis, que demonstraram a associação dessa exposição com repercussões na saúde mental (ansiedade, depressão e tentativa de suicídio) e com repercussões na saúde física (distúrbios alimentares e a obesidade) 12,13,14,15,16,19,20,23,26,29,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49 .…”

Psychological family violence in childhood and adolescence is still poorly studied, due to difficulties in its definition and detection. This article aims to examine how psychological family violence reported by children and adolescents has been addressed in academic studies, using a literature review (LILACS, MEDLINE, SciELO, PubMed, CAPES Portal, PsycINFO, and SCOPUS databases) IntroduçãoA violência é uma questão fundamental para o setor de saúde devido ao seu impacto nas condições de vida e de saúde da população 1,2 , especialmente quando acontece durante a infância, antes do completo crescimento e desenvolvimento humano.Na década de 70 foi demonstrada ao mundo a gravidade dos abusos na infância através da "sín-drome da criança espancada", impulsionando estudos sobre violência física e violência sexual e seus impactos na saúde de crianças, adolescentes e adultos expostos a estes. Através destas experiências percebeu-se que a violência psicológica, muito pouco estudada na época, poderia causar mais danos do que as outras formas de maus-tratos, sendo certamente mais difícil de ser identificada 3,4,5,6,7,8 .Estudos das décadas de 70, 80 e 90 apontam para a grande preocupação com o conceituar e definir a violência psicológica. Diferente das outras naturezas de violência, com definição e conceitos mais claros possibilitando assim melhor detecção e consequente intervenção, a violência psicológica é pouco diagnosticada apesar de ser mais prevalente do que as outras formas de abuso segundo pesquisadores da área 4,5,6 .Estudiosos 7,8 no desenvolvimento psicológico infantil mostram que a violência psicológica acarreta ataques ao ego da criança, com REVISÃO REVIEW

“…This result supports previous research underlining the impact of emotional abuse on aggression and psychopathology (Auslander, Tlapek, Threlfall, Edmond, & Dunn, 2015; Riggs, 2010). Moreover, Spertus et al (2003) demonstrated that emotional abuse predicted symptomatology even when controlling for other types of abuse and lifetime trauma exposure. Other research found that shame moderated adult anger and depressive symptoms after emotional abuse (Harper & Arias, 2004).…”

“…With regard to consequences of non-sexual CA, compared to neglect and emotional abuse, physical abuse had significant associations with PTSD (Norman et al, 2012). In general, sexual and physical abuse are the types of abuse that are strongly associated with PTSD, although they also have associations with other mental disorders, while neglect and emotional abuse have not been primarily associated with the etiology of PTSD (Cougle, Timpano, Sachs-Ericsson, Keough, & Riccardi, 2010; Spertus, Yehuda, Wong, Halligan, & Seremetis, 2003). It seems that neglect and emotional abuse are also indirect predictors of PTSD symptoms in later adulthood as they predict higher rates of lifetime trauma exposure (Spertus et al, 2003).…”

In particular, children and adolescents who experienced complex trauma, defined as two or more experiences of sexual, physical, and emotional abuse or neglect, showed the highest odds for having PTSD symptoms (Greeson et al, 2011).…”

Background: Anger and shame are aspects that are specifically associated with psychopathology and maladaptation after childhood abuse and neglect. They are known to influence symptom maintenance and exacerbation; however, their interaction is not fully understood. Objective: To explore with network analysis the association and interaction of prolonged, complex interpersonal childhood abuse and neglect in institutional foster care settings [institutional abuse (IA)] with anger, shame, and the proposed 11th revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-11) post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms in adult survivors. Method: Adult survivors of IA (N = 220, mean age = 57.95 years) participated in the study and were interviewed using the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, the International Trauma Questionnaire, the State–Trait Anger Expression Inventory, the Displaced Aggression Questionnaire, and shame-related items. To identify the most central aspects, we used a staged network analysis and centrality analysis approach: (1) on the scale level; (2) on the item/symptom level; and (3) with modularity analysis to find communities within the item-level network. Results: Trait anger, anger rumination, emotional abuse, and PTSD re-experiencing symptoms played the most important roles on a scale level and were then further analyzed on the item/symptom level. The most central symptom on the item level was anger rumination related to meaningful past events. The modularity analysis supported discriminant validity of the included scales. Conclusions: Anger is an important factor in the psychopathological processes following childhood abuse. Anger rumination is closely related to PTSD symptoms; however, anger is not a part of the proposed ICD-11 PTSD in the present study.
