[Child abuse--diagnostic methods and therapy. Diagnosis of neglect, deprivation and psychosocial short stature--therapeutic consequences].
The terms child abuse, neglect and sexual abuse overlap; while child abuse, neglect and sexual abuse can often be diagnosed on the basis of somatic symptoms, deprivation and other psychological sequelae can be identified only in interviews and by observing the interaction of children with their mothers/fathers. Social difficulties are reflected in a disturbance of the mother/doctor interaction in the doctor's office. The main task of the physician is to establish contact with the family and gain the parents' trust. An important aspect is expressing appreciation of the positive characteristics and achievements of both the child and its parents. In addition, provision of concrete information and counseling can be useful.
