This talk examines the concept of ‘Psychological Maltreatment’. It examines patterns of behaviour in adults, where, by acts of omission or commission, children experience forms of abuse from their caregivers. It focuses on identifying these patterns in ourselves so that we become more mindful of our acts of Psychological Maltreatment. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
