It’s much worse than the cited article suggests. Dr. Martin Teicher, MD, PhD, in “Scars That Won’t Heal: The Neurobiology of Child Abuse”, Scientific American, March 2003, documents a wide range of neurological problems, really: physiological differences between those who had a “normal” childhood and those who were neglected or abused.
