Child Neglect by Jan Horwath
Cases of child neglect raise assessment dilemmas that are often more complex than cases of physical or sexual abuse. This important book highlights the personal, professional and organizational factors that influence the identification and assessment of child neglect and explores ways in which current practice may be improved. Drawing on new and existing research evidence, it provides a thorough and insightful overview of this taxing area of professional practice, emphasizing throughout the importance of effective multidisciplinary working.
'Written for practitioners in an elegant, scholarly and yet simple way, it will be easy to follow and use by those who are familiar with neglect issues and those who are new to the fieldReaders from many different backgrounds will find this book an invaluable daily companion on an often long journey of understanding and responding to many needs of neglected children.' - Professor Dorota Iwaniec, Queen's University, Belfast, UK 'The book's applied and topical content, together with its accessible style, means that professionals will probably find it useful and it is likely to become a popular contribution to this body of literature.' - Elizabeth Harlow, Child and Family Social Work
