The problem of child abuse and the central nervous system implications are reviewed from a multidimensional approach. Statistics regarding prevalence, risk factors, epidemiological considerations, and physiological aspects are studied. The incidence is reviewed in the United States and in other countries where incidence and social services are also described. Implications for prevention efforts are considered.
