Child abuse is a modality of violence against children and
adolescents which remains to be comprehensively attended. The
complexity of the problem implies not only the clinical
manifestations (physical, sexual and psychological abuses and
neglect), but also the social component (social determinants for
health) as well as the judicial implication. This makes the
suspicion, diagnosis, comprehensive care of each case, the physical
and emotional rehabilitation of each patient, and the strategies
for the prevention of this phenomenon very difficult. Undoubtedly,
child abuse is fraught with enormous emotional and economic loads
for the child, the family and society.In the light of the
abovementioned facts, the propositions in this book lie in the
presentation and development of the most frequent and known
modalities of child abuse. These modalities include physical,
sexual and psychological abuses and neglect, as well as other forms
like fetal abuse, ethnic maltreatment, abuse among peers, bullying,
and parental alienation among others that are little known or
barely considered; hence, these latter issues are not frequently
seen by physicians, nurses, social workers, psychologists, lawyers,
etc. In addition, some preventive programs that have been
successful as viable strategies in many countries of the world are
proposed.The aim of this book is to give a wide vision on the
knowledge concerning child abuse, based on the analysis of
behaviors and attitudes and revising some new strategies ensuing
from information furnished by research works. The authors are
convinced that the consideration of these concepts would definitely
permit the elaboration of optimum and specific management for this
population.
