Child abuse and neglect (CAN) came to the forefront in the 1960s.
At first, theories were spun, usually dealing with the intrapsychic
reasons why a parent might en gage in such terrible behavior. The
1970s brought theory that tended to deal in creasingly with
sociocultural and ecological explanations forCAN.Itwas not until
the 1980s and 1990s, however, thattreatment strategies, research,
and legal issues emerged. This book represents a state-of-the-art
compilation from the leading figures of today's work in theory,
research, and treatment. In addition, this volume presents
treatises on cultural issues in CAN, youth violence, sexual abuse,
and child devel opmental factors in CAN. The topics covered in this
book are based upon empirical research. Although CANhas been
professionally discussed since the 1960s, empiricallybased work in
the field has been somewhat scarce. Thus, this volume fills a void.
It is hoped that this book can be used as a text and reference
source for many disciplines. It should be useful in psychology,
psychiatry, social work, public health, pediatrics, child
development and early childhood education, and law. My own work in
CANbegan in 1979. Since then, I have been involved in two
large-scale research and service projects aimed at the treatment
and prevention of CAN. I have found that the problem appears
treatable and preventableif the ap propriate resources are
available. ifthe services and research are properly evalu ated, and
if staff are trained to measurable performance criteria. Again,
this empirical bias can be seen throughout the volume."
