Define "maximum".
I was emotionally abused on a regular basis for the first 21 years of my life. I was told I was stupid (I was pretty close to 4.0) and a failure (I was the first person in my family to attend graduate school). I was told that I was fat (I was a size 2). I was insulted (and occasionally beaten) if I didn't do everything perfectly. I got a pretty good belt lashing and a lot of yelling once because I didn't fold my towels perfectly (first in thirds, then twice in halves). I was threatened for exhibiting independent thought and insulted for making independent decisions (i.e. "You'll never amount to anything. You're going to be married to a gas station attendant named, Bubba who will beat you everyday because you're so stupid."). I was made to feel guilty for a lot of things that were not my fault, which was more pronounced when I made my own decisions ("You're moving out because you don't love me and just wish I'd die. But you'll be sorry.").
I'm not sure if that's maximum and I know there are some people that were mentally abused more than that, but it was enough to leave me psychologically scarred.
