Excellent book, should be required reading
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This book is an excellent collection of information on child abuse, covering subjects from the history child abuse to specific types of child abuse to rehabiliation to prevention, and much more. Although this edition is a bit outdated and thus lacks some of the more recent information and research, it's still highly relevant and in my opinion should be required reading not only for doctors, psychologists, and school teachers, but also for anyone who interacts with children, and indeed, the entire population.
Very Informative

"The Battered Child" presents a clear, strong overview of child abuse: its origins, its legal history, its effects on society and its impact on the child. I would definately recommend it to anyone wanting to learn about the dynamics of abuse!
YOU MUST HAVE THIS ONE!

Excellent textbook! Should be in every school, therapist office, hospital, clinic and child protection agency library. If I could only buy one, this would be it! This is an excellent companion book to Body Language of the abused child! Buy them both- you will not regret it!
