Description
This excerpt from the article, Child Abuse and Neglect: Biosocial Dimensions Foundations of Human Behavior, discusses the biosocial perspective and how it applies to child maltreatment and maladaptation in parent-child relations. The biosocial perspective is a way of looking at child maltreatment that takes into account the individual, family, and social contexts in which child maltreatment occurs. This perspective is particularly appropriate for investigating parent behavior because the family is the universal social institution in which children are born and reared.
Child Abuse and Neglect applies the biosocial perspective to child maltreatment and maladaptation in parent-child relations. The biosocial perspective is particularly appropriate for investigating parent behavior since the family is the universal social institution in which children are born and reared, in which cultural traditions and values are transmitted, and in which individuals fulfill their biological potential for reproduction, growth, and development.
