Family interaction in abusive, neglectful, and normal families
Abstract
This study represents an attempt to discover whether there are distinctive patterns of day-to-day interactions that distinguish abusive and neglectful families from families with no known history of abusing or neglecting their children. Observational data collected in the homes of 17 abuse, 17 neglect, and 19 control families indicated that the abusive and neglectful parents demonstrated lower rates of interaction, overall, and were more likely to emphasize the negative in their relationships with their children. The implications of these data for further research and for intervention efforts are discussed.
