Her mother acknowledges that family life
has been stressful since she married Sara's step-father, but emphasizes that Sara's
step-father has made valid attempts to be friendly with Sara. During the initial
intake, Sara huddles in a corner, as far away from her mother and stepfather as
possible, and refuses to talk. If Sara is maltreated, her symptoms most likely are the
result of:

b. Emotional abuse
c. Sexual abuse
d. Physical neglect
e. Emotional neglect
