Description:The conceptual framework for this study sought to integrate concepts of psychological adjustment, which were beginning to be established in the child abuse literature, with emerging theory regarding how psychobiological factors, including pubertal development and physiological stress, might impact normative development. To this end, a task compatible with functional neuroimaging was designed in order to measure responses to facial emotions in predicted neural structures. There was no group difference in labeling of emotions when identifying different facial emotions. Maltreated children experienced severe levels of abuse and, as a result, the majority exhibited high rates of PTSD as a result of their maltreatment.
