"The major strengths of this book are the manual format, the comprehensiveness of the text, the direct focus on medical practitioners, the diagrams, and the photo-illustrations. The sections on normal anatomy, normal sexual growth, and development are excellent as is the section on conducting the physical examination. The concise listing of treatments and drug doses for various conditions is invaluable."
A riveting expose of child abuse in America and how the newest
breed of pediatricians determines what happened, why, and at whose
hands. Although more than one million children are abused each year
in the United States, child abuse often remains a secret to family
members, professionals, and politicians who neither see nor
understand it. Child abuse pediatricians are the newest breed of
pediatricians, specialized in exposing abuse. With detective-like
acumen, child abuse pediatricians deduce through careful medical
analysis who has abused and who has been abused. Describing the
most compelling cases among the thousands that they have evaluated,
author Lawrence Ricci reveals the trauma, pain, disability, and
sometimes death that abused children experience at the hands of
trusted adults. This gripping look at the dark side of American
families is about good parents and poor ones, perpetrators and
victims, and collateral victims such as innocent family members. It
is also about the professionals who have made it their career to
expose child abuse and to treat children who have suffered from it.
The conclusion calls for systematic changes that could help to stem
the tide of child abuse. Explains how signs of abuse can be missed
by professionals, community members, and even family members
Includes interviews and insights from more than two dozen child
abuse pediatricians Addresses physical, sexual, and emotional
abuse, including abuse by neglect and abuse due to Munchausen
syndrome by proxy Details how cases can go wrong in court rooms
when confuscation by defense attorneys overpowers evidence brought
to court by child abuse pediatricians Offers ideas for stemming the
tide of child abuse
