Volume 1 of the Child Maltreatment Assessment focuses on supplying the reader with the skills to identify and respond to the physical indicators of child maltreatment. With its inclusion of 17 case studies and dozens of high-quality images, this assessment serves to help readers differentiate between abusive and nonabusive injuries. Chapters include topics pertaining to different forms of physical abuse, such as skeletal injuries, abusive head trauma, and how to respond to pediatric poisoning cases. By seeing examples of abusive scenarios and injuries they may encounter in the field, professionals and students alike will be better prepared to respond to cases of maltreatment in the future. Each workbook in the Child Maltreatment Assessment series will also feature both a test section and photographic atlas at the back of the book. Using this assessment, the reader can review and apply the knowledge they have gained from the chapters within, making this text ideal for self-study or classroom settings. The photographic atlas will contain an additional 80 high-quality images with accompanying case histories.
