abstract="This article applies a developmental-ecological perspective to the question of the etiology of physical child abuse and neglect by organizing the paper around a variety of &quot;contexts of maltreatment.&quot; The roles of parent and child characteristics and processes are considered (&quot;developmental context&quot;), including an examination of intergenerational transmission. The &quot;immediate interactional context&quot; of maltreatment, which focuses on the parenting and parent-child interactional processes associated with abuse and neglect, is analyzed. Finally, the &quot;broader context&quot; is discussed with 3 specific subsections dealing with the community, cultural, and evolutionary contexts of child maltreatment. Implications for intervention are considered and future research directions are outlined.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
