Maltreatment in childhood can result in problems that eventually present to the internist. The common somatic, psychosomatic, and psychiatric presentations in adults are reviewed. Mental health referral is often appropriate. When a case of child abuse is reported to the physician by a patient, the physician's legal responsibilities and protections are summarized.
