Abstract

Emocionalno zlostavljanje obuhvaća svako destruktivno ponašanje odraslih prema djeci s neprijateljskim ciljem, a zbog kojeg dijete može zaključiti da je manje vrijedno i nevoljeno. Djeca koja doživljavaju emocionalno zlostavljanje prolaze kroz specifičan oblik zlostavljanja, na način da ono što je korišteno kao sredstvo zlostavljanja nije vidljivo kao što bi to bilo kod fizičkog zlostavljanja. Ovakvi oblici ponašanja ostavljaju ozbiljne posljedice na emocionalnom planu djeteta te na kratkoročne i dugoročne načine negativno utječu na njegov razvoj i dobrobit. Cilj ovoga rada je prikazati dosadašnje spoznaje na temu posljedica do kojih dolazi zbog emocionalnog zlostavljanja u djetinjstvu unutar obitelji. Posljedice emocionalnog zlostavljanja u djetinjstvu mogu biti razne, a očituju se kao neurološke posljedice, psihički poremećaji kao što su depresija i anksioznost, suicidalnost, problemi u odnosima s drugima i sklonost korištenju sredstava ovisnosti. Također, posljedice emocionalnog zlostavljanja utječu na pojavu agresivnosti i nižeg samopoštovanja. Jasno je da emocionalno zlostavljanje može imati ozbiljne negativne posljedice za djecu što ukazuje na to da je potrebna brza identifikacija te odgovarajuća intervencija kako bi se pokušale smanjiti dugoročne posljedice na djecu.

Abstract (english)

Emotional abuse includes any destructive behavior by adults towards children with a hostile goal, and because of which it can be concluded that the child is less valuable and unloved. Children who experience emotional abuse go through a specific form of abuse, in such a way that what is used as a means of abuse is not as visible as it would be with physical abuse. Such forms of behavior leave serious consequences on the child's emotional level and negatively affect his development and well-being in the short and long term. The aim of this paper is to present the current findings on the topic of consequences that occur due to emotional abuse in childhood. The consequences of emotional abuse in childhood can be various, and are manifested as neurological consequences, psychological disorders such as depression and anxiety, suicidality, problems in relationships with others and the tendency to use addictive substances. Also, the consequences of emotional abuse affect the appearance of aggressiveness and lower self-esteem. It is clear that emotional abuse can have serious negative consequences for children, which indicates that rapid identification and appropriate intervention are needed to try to reduce the long-term consequences for children.
