解説
`An important contribution to the field of child protection... the editors have aspired to offer an encyclopedic overview of knowledge about child abuse and neglect. The APSAC Handbook will serve as a reference for both practitioners and researchers in the various disciplines involved in investigation, adjudication, prevention and treatment of child abuse and neglect. I have already cited several of the chapters in my own writing and I have found the book to be a helpful desk reference. In short, I have no qualms about strongly recommending the book to professionals and graduate students in child maltreatment. Indeed, I have circulated a copy that I purchased to several colleagues who I thought would find it useful' - Contemporary Psychology
A resource of unparalleled thoroughness, The ASPAC Handbook of Child Maltreatment, Second Edition provides comprehensive, interdisciplinary coverage of the causes, consequences, treatment, and prevention of child abuse and neglect.
