A good summary:

Some studies contain the following weaknesses:

Some include subjects who have been physically and/or sexually abused. Abuse victims will generally show a much higher level of psychiatric, behavioral and addiction problems in adulthood. By mixing these victims with others who have only been spanked, the results may be skewed.
None of the studies that we have examined prove a cause-and-effect link between spanking and later problems: A pattern of harsh parental discipline might be the root causative factor of problems in adulthood. That technique might make the parent more likely to use spanking.
The propensity for later adult problems might have been present during early childhood. This might have made the subjects more prone to behavioral problems as children. This, in turn, may have driven their parents to try spanking as a means of control.
