It considers up-to-date studies and methodology, encourages discussions and debate, and explains judicial rulings. Different forms of maltreatment - physical abuse, neglect, psychological maltreatment, sexual abuse, fetal abuse, and Munchausen by Proxy Syndrome - are explored, as are resilience and prevention. Discussion questions, a glossary, and profiles of people actively working in the field are included. This is an invaluable resource to workers who are mandated reporters of child maltreatment and/or anyone interested in the problem.
