Emotional bullying is one of the commonly used concepts related to emotional abuse. Emotional abuse has been defined as a form of behavior in which a person is deliberately and repeatedly subjected to non-physical acts by another person that harms their behavioral, emotional, and mental functioning. Although it is more harmful than other types of abuse, it is difficult to notice. This type of bullying can be seen alone, or it is more common because it accompanies other types of bullying. Using the child, forcing the child to take a side in domestic problems, isolating him from the society for fear of being harmed, leaving him alone, dressing the child in a way that is not suitable for the society and place in which he lives in a way that is ridiculed by his friends and environment are also considered as emotional bullying. © 2023, IGI Global.
