Description: "The second edition of Mandated Reporting of Suspected Child Abuse offers expanded popular guidelines and recommendations distilled from the latest empirical literature to respond to mandatory reporting laws in a variety of practice settings. Data on the implications of reporting or not reporting are given life in an expanded "casebook within a book" that summarizes how problems posed by the law can be avoided.

New sections also review issues in the mandatory reporting of abuse in other vulnerable populations. In addition, a new chapter on therapeutic jurisprudence explores the therapeutic potential of mandatory reporting laws."--BOOK JACKET.
