Completely updated, this widely acclaimed practical text/reference helps professionals
fulfill their legal and ethical responsibilities to report child abuse with a high level of
confidence, effectiveness, and gratification. The book also serves as a textbook for students
in medicine, nursing, social services, and law enforcement as they prepare a career involving
work with children.
Written by experts from multiple disciplines, Recognition of Child Abuse for the
Mandated Reporter incorporates proven approaches for distinguishing possible abuse
from conditions that mimic abuse, conducting necessary interviews and examinations,
documenting findings and preparing reports, making appropriate referrals, and joining
with other caring professionals to prevent child maltreatment. The comprehensive
reorganization of the third edition facilitates access to content. This third edition
introduces new chapters on the role of child protective services, the risk for maltreatment
posed by the Internet, community- and home-based services, prevention efforts at the
local and national levels, play therapy, psychologic and psychiatric responses to abuse,
and resources available to professionals caring for abused children.
