The aim of this article is to propose the new viewpoint-mother-child relationship to reconsider the child maltreatment. The interest in child maltreatment is by no means new. In Japan, 63.3% of all persecutors are real mothers. Why they maltreat their own children? Many studies have reported many characteristics of those mothers-the substance/alcohol abuse, parental psychopathology, prior maltreatment as a child, maternal difficulty, emotional dysregulation, and so on. These studies have aimed to reveal which factors of mothers would predict the risk of child maltreatment but not to reveal how they operate on it. In recent years, the importance of the mother-child relationship has been emphasized on childrens' adaptive development and mothers' development. From the viewpoint of mother-child relationship, mothers' difficulty on parenting their children are thought to be a chance to develop themselves and change their relationships positively. With this viewpoint, we could consider the child maltreatment as 3 stages-the relationship perturbation, the relationship disturbance and the relationship disorder-and could approach the mechanisms of child maltreatment that occur in the context of mother-child relationship.
