THE DEFINITION OF CHILD ABUSE IN THE FAMILY: THE VALUE CONTEXT // Tomsk State Pedagogical University Bulletin. 2015. Issue 6 (159). P. 38-42

The article discusses a topical problem of child abuse in the family. The author identifies two approaches to the definition of the concept on the basis of theoretical analysis. A representative of the first approach uses external evaluation criteria of child abuse. This concept can be identified with some forms of violence and cruelty. A representative of the second approach uses criteria reflecting the intrinsic characteristics of the phenomenon. They concretize the psychological content of the concept. The author uses a value approach to the definition of child abuse in the family. The author defines child abuse in the family as a violation (reduction) of the parent of the valuable relation to the child as an individual.
