Synopsis

It is now commonly recognized that child abuse and neglect can be fully understood only through the use of longitudinal research methods--difficult, expensive, and time-consuming though their application may be. This book reviews the findings from current longitudinal research and also serves as an authoritative guide to the complex methodologic issues involved in conducting such studies.

Suggestions are offered for preferred directions in research are presented to advanced researchers of multiple disciplines. -- Journal of Psychosocial Nursing and Mental Health Services

A useful compendium of what we know' about child maltreatment and what it will take to know more....Unlike many edited volumes, this book coheres well as a unit. This adds importantly to its usefulness for the field, and it is useful. It can serve as a primer and reference volume for anyone contemplating longitudinal research on child maltreatment, which should include anyone contemplating research on child maltreatment. --James Garbarino in Child & Family Behavior Therapy

An unusually rich collection of articles that extends the boundaries of the field at a whole range of crucial points. The emphasis on a developmental perspective and on sophisticated issues of measurement and definition is particularly welcome. The best of the longitudinal research being done today is represented in this volume. --David Finkelhor, Ph.D., Co-Director, Family Research Laboratory, University of New Hampshire
