Child Abuse and Neglect: Facing the Challenge

Written in non-jargon terms for the concerned general reader, this seeks to cover all aspects of the current child abuse issue, with contributions from lawyers, psychiatrists, social workers and others involved. It includes first-hand accounts of abusers and abuse survivors and offers advice on therapy and self-help systems. The Cleveland case is covered and points raised by the Butler-Sloss enquiry are discussed. The book is a core text for a new course at the Open University.
