Abstract
Witnessing domestic violence can
have profound emotional and physical
consequences for many children.
We say “many” because there are
some children who come through
with no lasting consequences. Others
recover from the experience(s) very
quickly. Factors influencing this may
be the child’s individual makeup,
time elapsed since the event(s) and
the frequency and severity of the
violence. Children who are also
victims of child abuse may have more
complex needs.
