Denying Emotional Responsiveness in the Context of Psychological/emotional Maltreatment

Denying emotional responsiveness involves parental behaviors of engaging with children primarily out of situational demands (e.g., necessity or urgency) rather than a genuine desire to connect and concern for their children's emotional well-being. It can manifest in various forms, such as rejecting affectionate gestures like hugs and disregarding children's attempts to interact.
