Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The abused child who has taken upon him/herself the malevolence of the parent in order to maintain a good internal image of him/herself will suffer from low self-esteem, may have little autonomy, and will lack the ability to differentiate self from other.

    “Furthermore, the abused child who has taken upon him/herself the malevolence of the parent in order to maintain a good internal image of him/herself will suffer from low self-esteem, may have little autonomy, and will lack the ability to differentiate self from other [22].”
  • When the child does not have the opportunity to rely on other sensitive and caring adults, he/she is mostly forced to deny the malevolence of the abusive parent to protect his/her internal parental image, often blames him/herself, and this may lead the child to enact disturbing behaviors.

    “When the child does not have the opportunity to rely on other sensitive and caring adults, he/she is mostly forced to deny the malevolence of the abusive parent to protect his/her internal parental image.”
  • Sometimes the removal of the child can have an ego-supportive effect if the social worker does not have a punitive attitude, but this effect can be achieved if he/she shows a genuinely protective attitude.

    “Tuohy [22] observes that sometimes the removal of the child can have an ego-supportive effect if the social worker does not have a punitive attitude, but, on the contrary, this effect can be achieved if he/she shows a genuinely protective attitude by communicating to the parent that he/she cannot allow him/her to harm him/herself and/or the child and that he/she intends to protect his/her family”
  • The risk of burnout is very high in the treatment of these patients.

    “The risk of burnout is very high in the treatment of these patients, and to combat it, Tuohy [22] suggests the constant presence of supervisor support, peer support through frequent case presentations, and the possibility of engaging in other professional activities, e.g., intervention planning, teaching, research, and training.”
  • Emotional regulation deficits are transmitted from one generation to the next, leading to a vicious cycle.

    “Emotional regulation deficits are also transmitted from one generation to the next: If the mother does not protect her child from stimuli she is unable to tolerate, the child will not develop the normal integrative functions of the ego, will easily cry inconsolably, will suffer from sleep and feeding disorders, and will show general restlessness. He/she will thus be a hard-to-manage child who will”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
