From the Paper:

"The problem in identifying and dealing with emotional abuse is that at lower levels of intensity, the occurrence of abuse is debatable. For instance mild levels of belittling could be seen as "kidding". Another example could be that of criticizing and insulting. Depending on the issue that leads to such abuse, the grown up could actually be convinced that they are doing this to the child for "his own good". These mild forms of abusive behavior could actually be seen as "nurturing"."
