More about the book
The new edition of this popular, evidence-based guide compiles and reviews all the latest knowledge on assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of childhood maltreatment – including neglect and physical, sexual, psychological, or emotional abuse. Readers are led through this complex problem with clear descriptions of legal requirements for recognizing, reporting, and disclosing maltreatment as well as the best assessment and treatment methods. The focus is on the current gold standard approach – trauma-focused CBT. An appendix provides a sample workflow of a child protection case and a list of extensive resources, including webinars.
This book is thus invaluable for those training or working as expert witnesses in childhood maltreatment and is also essential reading for child psychologists, child psychiatrists, forensic psychologists, pediatricians, family practitioners, social workers, public health nurses, and students.
From the reviews
"An excellent primer on childhood maltreatment for undergraduate and graduate students in courses in various helping profession fields such as social work, human services, public health, medicine, psychology as well as human development, public administration, and public policy. It [...] includes a concise introduction to aspects of child maltreatment, identifying, diagnosing, and treating child maltreatment using TF-CBT.
The authors are well-known and recognized for their work in the field."

"As I have previous experience with this series of books, I knew that even though the book was short, it would be dense with information. It’s best to approach this series as a reference and glean what you need.
I did find that it was quite practical for treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in any age group. I have recently started seeing a PTSD patient and have been at a loss.
I am happy to announce that the skills I learned from reading this book have completely changed my last few sessions with my PTSD patient. Her mood and functioning have greatly improved and she is pursuing new life goals.
I think that anyone who deals with children—teachers, coaches, doctors, nurses, etc. — should read this book."
