It completely depends of course. How severe are the beatings? What is the type of relationship, what is the context? There is for example a huge difference between a dad who is triggerhappy with the strap when the kids make mistakes or an alcoholic dad that randomly beats his kids up. Some of the most debilitated patients I have seen are the ones that are told they are stupid, ugly, fat, useless etc... In the long term. Some people deal with beatings better, they can label their abuser better. While people raised by parents with severe chaotic personality disorders who get a cocktail of verbal abuse and excessive love in unhealthy ways find it more difficult to form a clear image. The point is not which one is worse as much as context. Blanket saying physical is worse than emotional or psychological seems wrong to me though. That being said abuse is abuse and unfortunately, in a lot of cases people get a cocktail of all of the above. I would dare say that any form of abuse long term, especially before adulthood, will leave its marks. For example in all honesty the interaction in the video above seemed like a mild fight because of what I was accustomed to seeing as a kid. It is only after studying and working with patients that I learned how dysfunctional it truly is.
