This article provides a clear relation between physical discipline/abuse and
mental disorders using data and research. The study uses data from the
National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions from
2004-2005. Using different Methods like logistic regression models they
concluded that harsh physical treatment like spanking leads to different
mental disorders.

This article helped with my paper because it shows clear evidence that
supports the belief spanking and corporal punishment is wrong because it
leads to problems in the childrens future. Using this evidence I can clearly
show that perspective on spanking and show why some have that
perspective.
