Abstract

The findings indicate that physically abused children may need more treatment to overcome their traumatic experiences. Since the family and the perpetrator have therapeutic requirements, these services need to be additional sessions. While the safety of the child is of paramount importance, the victim needs appropriate and effective treatment to surmount the detrimental consequences of the maltreatment.
