It means that one parent (or both) "absue" of his/her position or higher mental force for various purposes: revenge against the other parent, to denigrate the parent with less "child time", to get material benefits (house, money, custody), wishes to control of the children, other motives and/or pathologies. The abuse may be done in a premeditated and strategic way, or in an uncontrolled and impulsive one. That violence has an high destructive potential inside the underage that reveice it. A fundamental difference between physical and psychological violence is that the first one is easily observable (who, when) while the second one you can receive it without realize it with stronger and chronics damages. Receiving this violence in childhood or adolescence increase the possibility of even serious physical and mental patologies and most certanly get worse the quality of life. An abused, disorientated, humiliated and disarmed mind not only loses the control of the victim’s life, which makes the victim fall into depression, but it also causes him to lose control of some vital functions, such as glandular and immune functions, to name but a few.
