The fact that anyone or an adult responsible for caring for the child neglects enough children to endanger the child’s health or development, physical violence against the child, using the child as a sexual object, it is considered child abuse to exploit the child economically and harms the child emotionally.

Because emotional abuse does not cause a concrete physical injury to the child. Therefore, since there is no physical trace, it is difficult to detect and often goes unnoticed. However, the child’s emotional abuse causes psychological trauma in the child, although it does not cause a physical injury. Detection of this psychological trauma is often difficult, but it requires special expertise. Therefore, emotional abuse appears as an important phenomenon that threatens the child’s health.In this context; under this section, the definition of emotional abuse and the behaviours it covers, studies of emotional abuse in Türkiye and the world, the importance of detection of psychological trauma and the actors of the subject are discussed.
