  The third edition of this popular text offers a more explicitly theorized introduction to direct work with abused children. With more emphasis on evidence-based work, it helps practitioners understand abused children's perspectives and their sometimes seemingly paradoxical behaviour. Sensitivity is displayed towards issues of diversity, particularly relating to ethnic heritage and ability/disability. Overall, this is an insightful and wide-ranging introduction to all aspects of child abuse and the practical strategies available for prevention, intervention and support.

  This book looks at child abuse from the child's own perspective. Drawing on studies of other victims of abuse such as hostages and concentration camp prisoners, and the accounts of adult survivors of child abuse, it serves as a practical guide both to increasing an understanding of the reactions of children to their abuse, and to providing a support system for victims.
