This paper examines psychological maltreatment of students by their teachers. Attention was drawn to teachers' behaviours that constitute psychological maltreatment, and the consequences of psychological maltreatment on students' social, behavioural and psychological patterns. In addition, counselling advocacies are suggested, which we hope school counsellors may adopt in bringing the public to awareness of the dangers of psychological maltreatment of students: and also some strategies that school counsellors may adopt in developing human relations skills that would help teachers turn away from psychological maltreatment of students.
