Abstract

ABSTRACT: Physical punishment is a complex topic. Might psychoanalysis, child/adolescent analysis, and developmental theory and research provide further understanding of the underlying causes, the resulting psychopathology, and potential solutions? In this section, we explore various intrinsic and extrinsic perspectives in an attempt to better appreciate the controversies surrounding physical punishment and its persistence.
