Talk:Psychological abuse

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bold text

please will someone tell me what can be done to an adoptive 15 year old boy that continues to cuss his mother. he has been locked up in juvi hall now 3 times. all of this stemmed from him being busted out on the internet and caught with a 20 year old at school. he writes emails stating he wants to KILL people. sucking and fucking guts..goes over to the jr high and ask a particular girl does she masterbate and would she do it in front of him..

in his emails he refers to her...he stood infront of myself (his 48 year old sister) and mother last night and told my daughter he wanted to kill both of us.

we called the police and we took him to the hospital. the physc told us he was just pissed off and he was sexually frustrated...

we have letters upon letters that he has written talking about killing and hurting people..

can someone give me advice...

I'm deeply sorry that you find yourself in this situation, but I have to tell you that very few people here would be qualified to advise on this topic, and none of them can give you advice online, just as we couldn't give you a medical diagnosis or legal advice.
Someone at Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Miscellaneous might be able to direct you to general online resources on this topic, but they can't tell you what to do either. I hope you understand this constraint, and wish you the very best.

[edit] Please add a link to mobbing.ca

This article describes the psychological consequences of mobbing exactly. Mobbing is a form of psychological abuse which takes place in the workplace. You can find more information at http://mobbing.ca. The "Health Issues" page on mobbing.ca (http://members.shaw.ca/mobbing/mobbingCA/health-1.htm) describes the many mental, emotional and physical effects of psychological abuse experienced by mobbing targets in the workplace.

For your convenience here is the link you can add to "External links":

[edit] what happened to emotional abuse page that it links to here instantly?

Please put it back. As an emotional abused person, pyschological abuse does not accuratly reflect the impact on emotions. Having an emotional abuse page that focuses on the emotions involved would be better serving to the community to understand the impact. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.200.23.233 (talk) 16:22, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] kids in trouble help page

Hi I added a link to the Kids in Trouble Help Page and it was removed, this was fully in the guidelnes, this is not a commercial site it is simply a site to reach kids and teens in need and it is appropriate for this topic - especially as the emotional abuse page goes to here now. Kids and Teens need a way to get help from abuse (all types including psychological) depression, suicide etc. If this is not an appropriate page what is. I'm still fairly new to editing on wiki but I do understand that this is to be a user edited and free encyclopedia. therefore I would appreciate if you return what I posted. I will repost an example below. Thank You Endabusenow 05:50, 3 August 2007 (UTC)


[edit] example kithp

A Kids and Teens guide to help from Child Abuse, Depression, Runaways, Suicide and Bullying Resources Endabusenow 05:52, 3 August 2007 (UTC)


It is now the 16th of Aug and I have not seen any opposition so I will be posting the link to the Kids in Trouble Help Page which I feel is very appropriate.Endabusenow 11:25, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry that this comment is late in coming. The issue I have with kithp is that it is a general site on childhood issues and not specifically on psychological abuse. WP:EL states "A general site that has information about a variety of subjects should usually not be linked to from an article on a more specific subject" Neitherday 11:47, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

I believe this is one of those exceptions as KITHP deals with all kinds of abuse, from emotional/psychological abuse to other types of abuse such as physical, sexual, and neglect. Often when there is abuse it is mixed, (ie. emotional and sexual) And it hard to look at a separate distinct entity. These also are intertwined very much with depression running away, and sadly suicide, KITHP is therefore a very relavent resource for this topic and deals directly with the subject at hand even if it deals with other related topics.Endabusenow 18:05, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] why was this page merged with emotional abuse

I do not see mention of the merge on this talk page. Nobody has answerd the question I posted a while back, yet clearly someone has been editing and merging this page. I belive there should be two separate pages - are there any psychologists or other proffesionals with an opinion? I think at very least if they will be mixed the emotianal abuse title is more fitting. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Endabusenow (talk • contribs) 11:29, 16 August 2007.

I had suggested that the pages be merged on Talk:Emotional_abuse, but I did not merge them. Neitherday 11:39, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

I find it saddening that there is so little content here, especially since this page represents a merging with emotional abuse. Certainly there is such a thing as purposeful taunting and torture in the absence of physical abuse....but if it cannot be defined any better than it is here, one might be tempted to conclude that it doesn't really exist, in any large measure...but might be better defined as "very bad feelings, to the point of emotionally immobility, that is easier to accept if I can blame someone else for it." Perhaps there is far too great a willingness to categorize short term or long term emotional distress as "abuse." These definitions have become exceedingly slippery.
