Impact of Abuse and Effect of Trauma: A Psychoanalytic Reading of Stephen Chbosky’s The Perks of Being A Wallflower

A child‟s behaviour is basically built upon the process of imitation it acquires from its parents. More than the role of the environment, parent‟s role in shaping their children behaviour is vital. When parents fail to acknowledge the behaviour of their children it leads to psychological disturbances in their mind resulting in several abuses. This research paper seeks to analyze the various types of abuses that are experienced by children and the resulting trauma through the eyes of psychological reasons. It analyzes the reasons behind those abuses, the causes and their cure.
