Is silent treatment an indirect form of physical punishment or physical abuse?
Priya9317
It may hurt you emotionally, but not physically directly... but yes it can hurt indirectly. The silent treatment is a form of so called non-violent,non-physical punishment used to show the highest level of disgust with a person...Not speaking to and completely ignoring someone may have a negative psychological/emotional affect on the person which could be considered a form of mental abuse.
Silent treatment can be considered as indirect form of physical abuse because it affects particular part of the brain of receiver of silent treatment. Because of the adverse effect on particular part of brain a person may feel severe emotional pain or even it can lead a receiver to depression or may lead a person to commit suicide. So that means if you are ignoring a person intentionally you are physically inflicting a pain.
(could you please provide medical documentation(AMA) and cite the studies that specifically define the silent treatment as an indirect form of physical abuse?)
