ABSTRACT Newspapers continue to be a readily available and important source of information for much of the U.S. public. However, the meaning of domestic violence used in newspaper articles often excludes forms of violence that are not blatantly physical. Through an analysis of newspaper articles about domestic violence appearing in 5 cities during 3 months in 2008, I discuss the exclusion of emotional abuse in articles about domestic violence. Through recounting my narrative of an emotionally abusive relationship, I highlight the painful emotionally violent behaviors that are slighted in contemporary news stories about domestic violence. I also discuss reasons the media does not focus on emotional forms of abuse, and the implications of this exclusion for victims of emotional abuse.

ABSTRACT The current study examined whether psychologically maltreated adults experience posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)–related symptoms. Gender differences in levels of depression, anxiety, and anger among individuals who were psychologically maltreated were also investigated. One hundred fifty-five individuals who were either psychologically maltreated or nonabused during their lifetime participated in the study. Results indicated psychologically maltreated adults had significantly higher levels of PTSD symptomatology, depression, anxiety, and anger than their nonabused counterparts. Differences between psychologically maltreated men and women in levels of PTSD symptomatology, depression, anxiety, and anger were not significant. Significant positive correlations were found between measures of posttraumatic stress, depression, anxiety, and anger.

ABSTRACT Recent studies reported high levels of adolescent dating violence, which led federal agencies to define this area as a public health issue. Most studies fail to include Asian American or Pacific Islander youth in ways that provide for accurate analysis. The present study examined verbal and psychological dating violence victimization prevalences among 2 Asian American (Filipino, Japanese) and 2 Pacific Islander (Native Hawaiian, Samoan) adolescent groups. The results showed 58.3% reported experiencing emotional dating violence, with 43.7% affirming that they experienced insulting/verbal abuse and 43.3% reporting that they were victims of controlling behaviors. No significant differences were found for victimization rates and severity by gender. This study highlights the need for research to examine dating violence among this population.

ABSTRACT Building upon my prior work exploring the impact of childhood abandonment and isolation on chimpanzees and humans, this article discusses the relevance of nonhuman primate research to our understanding of this phenomenon in children. Both laboratory research and naturalistic studies have confirmed the strong commonalities in parenting between our 2 species and have reached similar conclusions regarding the long-term impact of maternal loss and subsequent isolation on nonhuman primates, conclusions that resonate fully with a self psychological understanding of how emotionally traumatized children are affected by such experiences. The article concludes with a discussion of what facilitates recovery and what we can learn from nonhuman primates about creating therapeutic environments for children who have been emotionally abused.

ABSTRACT The first of a 2-part series, I utilize my experience working in a sanctuary for abused chimpanzees as a microcosm for examining the specific and unique impact of maternal loss and social isolation during childhood. After reviewing the extant psychoanalytic literature, I discuss the nature of the damage to the developing structure of the child's self caused by such emotional abuse, which manifests itself in both specific behavioral symptoms and chronic difficulties with affect regulation and interpersonal relationships. I then describe my work with abused chimpanzees, explore how their early childhood experiences of separation from mother and social isolation affected their development, and discuss the relevance of these findings to emotionally abused and neglected children.

SUMMARY Race was an essential element in how this couple both came together and fell apart, and offers a useful lens to understand the partners and their connection. Their relationship began with pride in their shared African ancestry, and hit bottom with the threat of violence in the presence of their four-year-old daughter. Their racial identity was a source of strength for each of them, yet the effects of racism stressed them and their relationship and contributed to their undoing as a couple. The case is written by the woman's therapist, who draws upon relevant clinical and cultural literature and incorporates her increasing sensitivity to how racial issues affect relationships between women and men, and between client and therapist.

ABSTRACT Witness and nonwitness children ages 6 through 11 (N = 115) responded to questions concerning emotions in violent and anger-provoking scenarios. First, children watched videos of several types of conflict and attributed emotions to victims and perpetrators. Attributions of emotions varied significantly depending upon gender, exposure to violence, victim or perpetrator role, and age, with witness children and girls attributing greater peace to victims and greater violence to perpetrators. Second, a projective technique was used to investigate witness and nonwitness children's anger. All children were easily provoked to anger, with witness children assisting more readily in anger regulation and female witnesses reacting to provocation the most peacefully. Emotion's role in determining behavior is discussed, including implications for preventing violence.

ABSTRACT How to intervene in situations falling between the fields of child abuse, domestic violence, and elder abuse? This literature review from a feminist perspective explores some theoretical issues, using the lens of power and control. Common themes that emerged: the complexity of power dynamics, intrafamilial patterns of abuse, and the role of psychological abuse. Practice recommendations were to (a) distinguish between “abuse” (with power dynamics) and “mistreatment” (without), (b) consider structural limitations of practice, and (c) assess the role of perpetrator pathologies. More research is needed on psychological abuse and the workings of power. Integrative models of practice are needed, supported by screening/assessment tools and training.

ABSTRACT The transgender community is disproportionately affected by violence (Wilchins, Lombardi, Priesing, & Malouf, 1997). Transphobia—prejudice, discrimination, and gender-related violence due to negative attitudes toward transgender identity—may pose a risk factor for experiencing trauma in transgender individuals. Other risk and resiliency factors associated with experiencing traumatic violence among transgender populations are addressed in this article. Finally, culturally competent treatment suggestions are provided for clinicians working with transgender survivors of trauma in a clinical setting.
