摘要：Child abuse constitutes any act by a parent or caregiver that results in death,
serious physical or emotional harm, sexual abuse or exploitation of a child. Neglect
involves a failure to provide for a child’s physical, emotional, educational or medical
needs. Child abuse and neglect pose serious implications for the physical, cognitive
and socio-emotional development of a child.

Risk factors for child maltreatment
include caregiver (e.g. psychopathology), child (e.g. behaviour problems) and family/
environmental (e.g. lack of social support) factors.

Here, we present a case of
dissociative disorder to highlight the intricacies involved in the management of cases
associated with child abuse and neglect.
