	Psychological abuse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Psychological abuse refers to the humiliation or intimidation of another person, but is also used to refer to the long-term effects of emotional shock.
		Workplace abuse is a large cause of workplace-related stress, which in turn is strong cause of illness, both physical and mental (see battered woman syndrome).
		Another specialized form of abuse, known as 'gaslighting,' derives its name from two movies of the early 1940s, in which an attempt is made to cause a woman to question her sanity, due to tricks and reality distortion caused by trusted people around her.

		Child abuse researchers are also considering as to whether it is a particular act abuse that is problematic or whether is it a pervasive pattern of behaviors that are detrimental and therefore abuse.
		Psychological violence that falls short of criminal behavior but is nevertheless likely to be experienced as traumatic (Category 2) could be considered when deciding treatment plans, interventions or additional treatment and may be reported to probation depending on the frequency of the acts.
