Question

Emotional abuse is less harmful than physical abuse.
a. True
b. False

Answer 1

False, just because it's not physical, doesn't mean it's any less harmful than emotional.

Answer 2

B) False
There is emerging evidence that emotional abuse is in fact, more harmful, than physical abuse. A study conducted by the Trauma Center at the Justice Resource Institute shows that because of the long-term nature of emotional and psychological abuse, victims score higher on a measure of a variety of negative risk factors and behaviors.
