Child Abuse and Neglect Biosocial Dimensions

Child Abuse and Neglect applies the biosocial perspective to child maltreatment and maladaptation in parent-child relations. The biosocial perspective is particularly appropriate for investigating parent behavior since the family is the universal social institution in which children are born and reared, in which cultural traditions and values are transmitted, and in which individuals fulfill their biological potential for reproduction, growth, and development.Gelles, Richard J. is the author of 'Child Abuse and Neglect Biosocial Dimensions' with ISBN 9780202303338 and ISBN 0202303330.
