Title: The abused child
First published: 1998
Description: This volume equips readers to meet the unique, complex challenges of clinical work with abused children. Focusing on the interplay between neurobiological and psychological facets of behavior, Heineman shows how abuse disrupts normal development and how skillful psychodynamic psychotherapy can help children talk about, understand, and move beyond the harm that has been done to them.

With a wealth of in-depth clinical vignettes, therapists are guided through developmentally informed assessment and treatment processes.
