Abstract
Overthe past two decades, research has shown
that maltreatment can disrupt a child’s ability to recognize
and understand the emotions of others. These difficulties
can lead to problems as children attempt to navigate
their interpersonal relationships. Child welfare workers
can better help children that have experienced abuse
and neglect read emotional cues and build successful
relationships if they are aware of how maltreatment can
impact emotion-processing.
