This informative book gives mental health professionals who are not child abuse specialists knowledge and skills that are especially relevant to their direct service role and practice context. It introduces to these practitioners a conceptual bridge between biomedical and psychosocial understandings of mental disorder, providing a multidimensional approach that allows professionals to think holistically and connect clients' abusive pasts with their present-day symptoms and behaviours.
It includes reviews of the most up-todate findings with direct practice guides in helping clients.

This is a very useful book, particularly for novice practitioners and front-line workers who may not have had a supervised experience dealing with abused individuals.
