Question:

The possible negative effects associated with the most frequent form of child abuse, child neglect, are social and emotional difficulties, cognitive and academic deficits, physical consequences, and emotional & behavioural problems (Miller, 2013). The child suffers both short-term and long-term effects, influencing their life as an adolescent, continuing into their years of adulthood. With the resources and support available, do you think the victim can effectively deal with the consequences of being neglected? If so, how? If not, what do you suggest professionals implement and provide as a means to cope? Furthermore, neglected children also have been found to have difficulty in recognizing and discriminating their emotions (Miller, 2013). Do you feel that cognitive behavioural therapy can help the neglected child in developing ac self of identify and self-efficacy?
