What is the difference between emotional and psychological abuse or neglect... from a professional standpoint?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not much.: Abuse that causes hurtful emotional reactions can be caused by harshly acted out feelings or thoughts exressed in ways designed to also hurt. If you suspect abuse, seek help from a therapist, teacher or from someone in authority who is safe.
