Abstract:

Horenstein (1977) recently examined laboratory research on infant abuse among rhesus monkeys for implications regarding the related problem in our own species. His analysis supported a psychiatric interpretation of human child abuse, for which specific measures at rehabilitation of both the parent and the child were proposed. In this paper, additional evidence regarding infant abuse in nonhuman primates is presented and implications of a social-psychological interpretation of the problem are discussed.
