Recenzii

This articulate overview of child neglect and emotional abuse highlights the seriousness of these fundamental, but sometimes underestimated, types of child maltreatment. The book examines theory, empirical research, case studies and practical applications, providing a comprehensive guide for any reader who is serious about studying this crucial topic.
 

This is an important and timely book, drawing our attention to how  developments in theory and research in relation to children's experiences of neglect and emotional abuse inform our present understanding of the issues and consequently change our practices. This  text will be of benefit to a wide range of students and professionals, across disciplines, who are concerned with gaining a deeper understanding of the complex causation and profound effects of the experience of neglect and emotional abuse. Of particular value are the chapters on child development which establish normative developmental trajectories. This is very helpful for practitioners seeking to assess situations where children's experiences have impacted on their development in negative ways; informing, in turn,  intervention strategies.
The authors’ wish is that the book is essential reading for professionals working with vulnerable children, and I believe that it achieves this target... It is an excellent general resource which covers a difficult and complex topic with ease and clarity.  Those wishing to extend their knowledge further can use the extensive bibliography to develop their skills and understanding.  Theories, assessment and responses are all clearly presented.  Students would benefit hugely from reading this book, and those with more experience are likely to extend and consolidate their knowledge.
