I own the 1993 version of this text and can honestly say that it is the most comprehensive single writing on child abuse that I have encountered. Chapters of the 1993 printing include:The Maltreatment of Children from a Historical PerspectiveThe Family: Roles, Responsibilities, and RightsMaltreatment and the Developing ChildThe Physical Abuse of Childrenthe Neglect of Childrenthe Emotional Maltreatment of Childrenthe Sexual Abuse of ChildrenIncest: Familial AbuseExtrafamilial Sexual Abuse, Misuse, and ExploitationIntervention: Reporting and InvestigationIntervention: Case Management and Roles of Other ProfessionalsThe Legal Response to Child Abuse and NeglectTreatment: Physical Abuse and NeglectTreatment: Sexual AbuseFoster Care as a Theapeutic ToolThe Social Worker and the SystemAdults Abused as ChildrenPreventionToward a Better TomorrowThe author puts forth much valuable information which is clearly well researched. It is also written in a common-sense format. If you are looking for one book on everything child abuse, this should be it.
