Abstract

Although groups of maltreated children differ from groups of nonmaltreated children on most of the neurobiological and psychological domains investigated thus far, not all individual maltreated children are affected by their experiences in the same manner. Moreover, the neurobiological and psychological functioning of some maltreated children appears not to be negatively affected, or it may reflect an enhanced neural plasticity in resilient individuals (Cicchetti & Curtis, 2006). We do not know whether the biological difficulties exhibited by many maltreated children are permanent or irreversible, or, if reversible, at what point in ontogeny or to what degree.
