First published in 1968, "The Battered Child" quickly became a
landmark work. Our awareness of child abuse today is due in no
small part to the remarkable impact of its first and subsequent
editions.
The new edition of this classic text continues the legacy. While
updating and significantly adding to previous editions, the fifth
edition retains the multidisciplinary and comprehensive approach
that initially set the work apart. This new edition contains
chapters from professionals in such diverse fields as pediatrics,
psychiatry, legal studies, and social work that reflect the past
decade's extraordinary advances in research and techniques. Twenty
of the book's 30 chapters are entirely new, while the remaining
material has been extensively revised.
Part I provides a historical overview of child abuse and neglect as
well as background material on the cultural, psychiatric, social,
economic, and legal contexts of child maltreatment. Part II
discusses the processes of assessing cases of physical, emotional,
and sexual abuse and neglect from the unique perspectives of all
the professionals involved, including teachers, pediatricians, and
social workers. Part III describes intervention and treatment,
focusing on legal issues, investigative procedures, and therapeutic
processes, while Part IV addresses prevention and policy issues.
Previous editions of "The Battered Child" have earned the labels of
"a classic" and a "Bible." With its up-to-date information,
unequaled scope, and contributions from experts on every aspect of
child abuse, the fifth edition of this cornerstone text is even
more essential to the field than its predecessors.
"Comprehensive and up-to-date."--DavidCottrell, "British Journal of
Psychiatry"
"A valuable contribution to the field of abuse and
neglect"--Prasanna Nair, "Journal of the American Medical
Association"
