When we think of child abuse, we imagine several different forms of
harmful parenting and injuries to children. Most are not visible to
the naked eye, but can be seen if you look more deeply. X-rays can
detect fractures and other imaging can find internal injury and
bleeding, but most maltreated children have more long-lasting harm
that reveals itself through behavioural and emotional
maladjustment, developmental delay, sadness, and other destructive
behaviours later in childhood, adolescence and into adulthood.
These injuries to their personality, sense of self, relationship to
society and mental health change the trajectory of their lives and
dim their potential, with social and financial costs for safety,
treatment and their lost personal growth. We think of these as
affecting everybody's children and that the responsibility lies
with everyone to respond. This is why we put together this book: to
address prevention from a number of perspectives and a variety of
professions. We hope that it successfully brings together a number
of disciplines and perspectives to address child abuse and neglect
among the world's families, governments and cultures. We hope that
those reading these chapters will realise that there are replicable
best practices that can be reliably implemented based on child and
family experiences and needs rather than single approaches designed
to attack single forms of maltreatment, and we look forward to the
day that books like these are not needed.
