ABUSE & NEGLECT CHECKLIST
| |
As a counselor or therapist, it is important to determine the type and extent or level of any abuse or neglect in a person's past. Abuse and neglect can significantly affect an individual's development and maturation. Any abuse and neglect needs to be assessed for potential treatment to determine how it is currently affecting the individual's functioning. Unresolved abuse or neglect, being defined as any abuse or neglect that still produces either negative feelings/emotions or bad memories, especially needs to be identified and resolved.
|
Abuse falls in several categories. You need to identify each category for abuse, type and severity. Only then will you know what remedies to take with each individual.
- Physical Abuse; physical abuse can best be understood as the physical deprivation either by design or default of a person's primary needs for survival. Such needs include but are not limited to food, water, clothing, shelter, and safety. Individuals raised in either low social economic conditions such as poverty or in a dangerous environment such as in a war torn country are most likely to be victims of physical abuse.
- Mental Abuse; mental abuse is best understood as the control or manipulation of a person's mind through threats or intimidation using power or authority to create fear or terror through the perception of the possibility of impending doom if the person misusing the power is not obeyed.
- Emotional Abuse; emotional abuse is the misuse of language to hurt, criticize or offend. It is verbally using the tongue to "tongue lash" and create emotional scaring through belittling, teasing, sarcasm, or outright hostility and contempt. It creates a significant impact on the person's self-worth, self-esteem, and self-image.
- Experiential Abuse; experiential abuse is the neglect or lack of significant and meaningful experiences through the critical relationships in a person's life necessary to establish the sense of self-worth through the fact I mean enough to someone that they will invest time to be with me. The loss of these either through default or design leaves a person without the necessary memories and experiences to draw upon for the wisdom of life.
- Spiritual Abuse; spiritual abuse is the misuse of God given authority to influence a person away from a healthy relationship with God. This can take three forms. Intentional misleading as in involving the person in inappropriate or wrong cult-like experiences, using God or the fear of God to punish or intimidate, or sexually abusing the individual so as to distort their emerging self-identity are the three forms. This affects a person's ability to relate to God as a loving God.
- Relational Abuse; relational abuse is the misuse of power in a relationship to create or cause deliberate bodily harm. This harm results in the loss of trust by the victim of future relationships due to the ability of others to inflict or cause bodily harm or pain.
