Emotional maltreatment between family members as well as others is the most prevalent and damaging form of trauma. It occurs when the basic need for emotional support is withheld, personal safety is threatened, self-esteem is defiled, right of choice is denied and physical boundaries are violated. Experienced as being shamed, falsely blamed, ignored, betrayed, humiliated and violated, its effects are long lasting. Permeating body and mind, emotional trauma harms self-esteem and the abilities to emotionally bond, sooth distress, relax and learn. Thanks to the pioneering work of Bessel van der Kolk, Judith Hermann, Louis Cozolino and others, recognizing and treating emotional trauma (that occurs independent of and as an aspect of physical, sexual and other violent traumas that occur between people) is crucial for mental health care providers.

More information about Medical:

Medicine is the science and practice of establishing the diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and prevention of disease.
Medicine encompasses a variety of health care practices evolved to maintain and restore health by the prevention and treatment of illness.
Contemporary medicine applies biomedical sciences, biomedical research, genetics, and medical technology to diagnose, treat, and prevent injury and disease,
typically through pharmaceuticals or surgery, but also through therapies as diverse as psychotherapy, external splints and traction, medical devices, biologics, and ionizing radiation, amongst others.

Medicine has been around for thousands of years, during most of which it was an art (an area of skill and knowledge) frequently having connections to the religious and
philosophical beliefs of local culture. For example, a medicine man would apply herbs and say prayers for healing, or an ancient philosopher and physician would apply bloodletting according to the theories of humorism.
In recent centuries, since the advent of modern science, most medicine has become a combination of art and science (both basic and applied, under the umbrella of medical science).
While stitching technique for sutures is an art learned through practice, the knowledge of what happens at the cellular and molecular level in the tissues being stitched arises through science.
