I would start with the Summon Power Search (search box at library.cornerstone.edu) and try some of the following searches:
- child abuse effects
- effects of child abuse in adulthood
- short term effects of child abuse
- long term effects of child abuse
I would also limit search results to 2000 to present, which you can do on the lower left hand column.
Here are a few direct links to helpful encyclopedia articles:
Article “Child Abuse” in International Encyclopedia of Marriage and Family
Article “Child Abuse/Treatment” in International Encyclopedia of Public Health
Article “Child Abuse And Neglect” in Encyclopedia of psychology
Also, if you cannot find enough through the Summon Power Search, try the database “PsycArticles” (library.cornerstone.edu > Databases > PsycArticles). I would work with the same searches recommended above.
