I would said beating the child to the point of severe bruising and bleeding. The parent(s) has the right to discipline their child.
-
Too much to explain. This link covers psychological abuse pretty well. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotional_abuse
-
Put downs, making the child keep damaging secrets (say for instance that they're cheating on the childs mother/father) and making the child feel inadequate. Thats my opinion on it anyway but its a much broader spectrum that just that.
-
Put downs, constant unproductive demeaning criticism, humiliating remarks, emotional neglect, emotional abandonment, emotional incest.

My parents told me things like I wish you had never been born, you are a failure and there is no reason to ever try cause all you will ever be is a failure. I got cursed out for missing 1 question on a test or when my dad had a bad day. There is constructive criticism but then there is abuse.

denying your kids affection when they are sincerely sorry for the misbehavior you just had to punish them for. children NEED discipline, they need inpleasant consequences to their unacceptable behaviors and they need to know they have upset you... but as soon as they are apologetic (please tell me you can tell the difference between manipulation and sincere apology) they need to know you love them very much.
