Presentation Abstract
Child maltreatment, sometimes referred to as child neglect or abuse, is a phenomenon that has been documented as early as the 1600s. Currently, there are four categories of child maltreatment: physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, and neglect. This study seeks to explore differences in trauma appraisal and executive functioning based on the type of child maltreatment experienced. The findings from this study will contribute to the growing body of knowledge surrounding child maltreatment and will assist clinicians in developing treatment plans congruent with the specific needs of their individual clients based on the type of maltreatment experienced.
