Abstract

The third edition of "Child Maltreatment" should be an excellent resource for a wide range of professionals and caregivers, including those in pediatrics, family medicine, emergency medicine, psychiatry, psychology, nursing, social service, law and law enforcement, education, and public health. These volumes should help professionals, including first responders, in diagnosis and management. The accompanying Photographic Reference volume is an excellent complement to the Clinical Guide and Reference volume. The Clinical Guide and Reference has 70 new contributors and exemplifies the multidisciplinary team approach to maltreatment. New material includes risks to children from Internet use, intimate-partner violence, risks found in faith-based settings, preparing a case for court, preparing to be an expert witness, education of clinicians about child maltreatment, and research needs.
