Title: Treatment of child abuse
Description: "Combining current theory about treating child abuse with current practice guidelines, Treatment of Child Abuse provides professionals with the guidance they need to help restore children and families to normalcy. It also addresses the rising demand for accountability in the health care system which requires professionals to justify their efforts and their methods. The result is the first single-reference source for clinicians seeking an appropriate course of treatment for children who have been physically, emotionally, or sexually abused." "The book provides guidelines for treatment of abuse, neglect, Munchausen by proxy, and multiple traumatization. Medical management, legal interventions, and management of developmental and psychological consequences are thoroughly covered, as are complicated issues such as treatment-resistant families, the treatment of offenders, forensic implications (including confidentiality), and the long-term consequences of childhood victimization."--BOOK JACKET.
