Abstract
In this review article, we will discuss all forms of violence against children except sexual and emotional abuse and their long-term consequences. Thus, this article will concern physical and emotional neglect, physical abuse, and Münchhausen syndrome by proxy. We will present typical case constellations and characteristic patterns of injury that should arouse the suspicion of child maltreatment. We will then outline the appropriate behavioral options in response to child maltreatment and the medical interventions that should be undertaken to protect children against it. This article is based on a comprehensive, selective review of the literature and on the authors’ professional experience. (Author Text)
