Understanding Child Sexual Maltreatment

This book fills the need for all the relevant material to be drawn together in an accessible form. The clear structure takes the reader through terms and approaches and provides useful guidelines for dealing with sexual maltreatment. It will be an indispensable tool for helping professionals and others making assessment and intervention decisions in cases of child sexual abuse.Faller, Kathleen C. is the author of 'Understanding Child Sexual Maltreatment' with ISBN 9780803938410 and ISBN 0803938411.
