Child maltreatment professionals from all disciplines struggle to
find better ways of understanding and treating the families and
children affected by maltreatment. Since the mid-1960s, the
"battered child syndrome," and recent high-profile abuse cases, a
plethora of research and literature on child maltreatment has
emerged, yet this is the first volume to offer a comprehensive
integrated analysis for understanding, assessing, and treating
child maltreatment within the ecological framework in a
developmental context. This framework systematically organizes and
integrates the complex empirical literature in child maltreatment
and development, including the often-overlooked period of
adolescence.
Viewing child maltreatment from an ecological perspective, this
volume identifies the risk and protective factors correlated with
abuse and neglect. The authors present a comprehensive assessment
framework, addressing the multiple developmental and environmental
factors unique to each case. This framework fully considers risk
and protective factors and their relationship to individuals,
families, and environmental elements, presenting a much-needed
perspective for today's child protective services workers.
Understanding Child Maltreatment is the first of its kind. While
most books broadly address the developmental consequences of
maltreatment, this volume goes further by proposing assessment and
intervention strategies based on a deep understanding of each stage
of a child's development. Interventions center on the caregiver and
the family, with particular attention to parenting skills and the
challenges the child may experience within his or her developmental
stage. Each chapter emphasizes empirically based interventions and
includes a case illustration that guides readers in applying these
concepts to their own practice. Providing a comprehensive, nuanced
perspective on maltreatment, this book will be invaluable to
students, researchers, and professionals.
