摘要：AbstractIn Romania, abused children have difficulties in integration process into the social protection centres, and more, when they get out of the centres, their psychological profile is not improved. In this context our paper aims to investigate self esteem level to 21 abused children from an Emergency Reception Centre in order to develop a possible framework for a counselling program. Our findings obtained by documents analysis, observation, self esteem scale and questionnaire indicated that all investigated subjects developed cognitive, affective and behavioural disorders, 81% have a low self esteem and 59% have a low emotional self control. Another important finding is the presence of irrational thoughts about themselves, the others and the future (career and family foundation). Our results have indicated the need for a counselling program for abused children focused on self esteem and positive thinking development.
