COMPREHENDING CHILD ABUSE & NEGLECT

Physical, sexual, and emotional abuse and various forms of neglect of children are associated with substantially increased risk for concurrent and subsequent psychopathology and are among the common problems encountered by clinicians in many clinical settings. Such cases pose additional challenges for clinicians, assessing maltreated children generally requires more time than evaluations of children who have not experienced maltreatment. Treatment associated with maltreatment, is often multimodal, requires addressing a variety of external factors that may perpetuate or exacerbate symptoms and impaired functioning. This book will help students & clinicians understand the different cultures of the legal and child protective services systems that will help them advocate more effectively for maltreated children. The comprehensiveness of our efforts is to minimize their suffering, enhance their development, and promote their competence.
