|
09 Jan 2003 Published by: Soonets, Ruth (Estonia)
|
|
The concept of child abuse is relatively new in Estonian society since there was no discussion on child abuse, its types and causes before the restoration of independence of the Republic of Estonia. Now it has become evident that the child abuse is a serious problem in the society. At the same time the domain of child abuse is problematic since there is a lack of single terminology and exact definitions on child abuse. This survey (Triin Edovald, 2002)outlines methods that were applied for assessing child emotional abuse in the environment of children?s home by exploring different aspects of emotional abuse in child-caregiver interaction. |
