ABSTRACT

Abusive Head Trauma (AHT) is a medical diagnosis which indicates that accidents, diseases, or other medical conditions do not plausibly explain a child’s injuries. While psychologists may be involved in AHT cases, they do not generally evaluate children at the time injuries caused by AHT occur and they do not diagnose those injuries. This article is a commentary on Johnson et al, which advises that psychologists would benefit from understanding the medical aspects of an AHT case. This is a laudable goal. However, in an effort to discuss medical issues regarding AHT and legal exonerations, the article presents flawed data and speculative theories which are unsupported by medical evidence or the extensive range of generally accepted medical literature. We discuss some of these flaws and present a more in-depth medical analysis in the hope that interested psychologists gain more understanding of this very complex area of medical specialty.

约翰逊等人的“摇晃婴儿综合症/虐待性头部创伤:错误定罪风险、错误信息影响和心理咨询”的评论

摘要

虐待性头部外伤 (AHT) 是一种医学诊断,表明事故、疾病或其他医疗状况不能合理地解释儿童的伤害。虽然心理学家可能会参与 AHT 案例,但他们通常不会在 AHT 造成的伤害发生时评估儿童,也不会对这些伤害进行诊断。本文是对 Johnson 等人的评论,该评论建议心理学家将从了解 AHT 案例的医学方面中受益。这是一个值得称赞的目标。然而,为了讨论有关 AHT 和法律免责的医学问题,本文提出了有缺陷的数据和推测性理论,这些数据和推测理论都没有医学证据或广泛接受的医学文献支持。
