What is the nature of maltreated children's representational models of themselves and others?

What will be an ideal response?


Maltreated children often lack these core positive beliefs about themselves and their world. Instead, they may develop negative representational models of themselves and others based on a sense of inner "badness," self-blame, shame, or rage, all of which further impair their ability to regulate their affective responses (Simon, Feiring, & McElroy, 2010; Valentino et al., 2008).
