Main description:

Volume 2 of the Child Maltreatment Assessment serves to help readers identify and interpret sexual, emotional, and psychological forms of abuse in children by providing chapters on the topics of sexual abuse, neglect and abandonment, torture, and more. While sexual abuse typically has some physical indicators, many cases of emotional and psychological abuse do not. By providing detailed examples and descriptions of abusive scenarios and injuries that readers may encounter in the field, this workbook aims to better prepare experienced professionals and students alike.

This assessment is supplemented with 16 case studies and dozens of full-color clinical images, guiding readers through the potential indicators of sexual, emotional, or psychological abuse, better preparing them to respond to cases of maltreatment in the future. Each workbook in the Child Maltreatment Assessment series will also feature both a test section and photographic atlas at the back of the book. Using this assessment, the reader can review and apply the knowledge they have gained from the chapters within, making this text ideal for self-study or classroom settings.

The photographic atlas will contain an additional 80 high-quality images with accompanying case histories.
