Casualties of Childhood: a Developmental Perspective
on Sexual Abuse Using Projective Drawings. Bobbie Kaufman & Agnes Wohl,
$70.50
Against the backdrop of powerful case vignettes and their
accompanying House, Tree, Person and Kinetic Family Drawings, the discussion
focuses primarily on the essential link between childhood sexual abuse and
specific developmental problems. Given that sexual abuse is commonly directed
toward latency-age young people, it is imperative that this connection be given
greater emphasis in the literature. The book represents an important step in
that direction. In sum, the authors bring to life the full dimension of sexual
victimization, its meaning and consequences for the individual, the family, and
by extension, the society. For therapists of all persuasions, it is a
much-needed resource. |

The Child Survivor: Healing
Developmental Trauma and Dissociation. Joyanna Silberg, $43.95
The Child Survivor is a clinically
rich, comprehensive overview of the treatment of children and adolescents who
have developed dissociative symptoms in response to ongoing developmental
trauma. Joyanna Silberg, a widely respected authority in the field, uses case
examples to illustrate hard-to-manage clinical dilemmas such as children
presenting with rage reactions, amnesia, and dissociative shut-down. These
behaviors are often survival strategies, and in The Child
Survivor practitioners will find practical management tools that are
backed up by recent scientific advances in neurobiology. Clinicians on the
front lines of treatment will come away from the book with an arsenal of
therapeutic techniques that they can put into practice right away, limiting the
need for restrictive hospitalizations or out-of-home placements for their young
clients. |

Children and Young People Whose Behaviour is Sexually
Concerning or Harmful. Jackie Bateman & Judith Milner, $40.95
More than any other challenging behaviour, the sexual
abuse of one child by another generates anxiety, puzzlement and confusion.
Adults confident in dealing with a defiant or delinquent child find their
confidence leaves them when confronted with sexual misbehaviour in a child who
they expect to be asexual.
In this book, Jackie Bateman and Judith Milner
provide an accessible overview of the evidence relating to such problem
behaviours, from inappropriate behaviour to sexual abuse. They go on to propose
research-based effective and creative methods that professionals can use to
develop responsibility-taking and safety in the child, and outline a
strengths-based model for practice. Using the model, the authors show how
behaviour can be managed through the development of safe care plans for the
home and/or school — addressing communication, supervision, and supportive
networks. They also provide guidance for working across a range of settings —
whether directly with families, in schools or with children with learning
difficulties.
This practical guide will be an essential tool for social workers, counsellors,
teachers, nurses and any professional with responsibility for child protection. |

Disability and Child Sexual Abuse: Lessons from Survivors’ Narratives for Effective Protection, Prevention and Treatment. Martina Higgins & John Swain, $43.95
Disability and Child Sexual Abuse examines the ways in which society places disabled children in situations of unacceptable risk, and how patterns of service delivery can contribute to the problem.
Through case vignettes and empirical research, the authors ask practitioners to scrutinize their current professional practice, exploring participants' experiences of hospitalization, education systems and local authorities. They consider the issue of who abuses and why, and highlight issues relating to the complexities involved in revisiting past experiences and confronting unwarranted and unwanted feelings of responsibility. The difficulty of recounting the abuse narrative is also examined within the research context. |

Child: Identification, Assessment and Intervention: a Practice Handbook,
2nd Edition. Dorota Iwaniec $78.99
Emotional abuse and neglect are at the
core of all types of child maltreatment, and have lifelong effects
on the physical and psychological development and well-being of
children. Yet they are considered to be the most difficult to deal
with by those who have the responsibility to protect and intervene
in effective ways. The Emotionally Abused and Neglected Child
explores the concept of a damaged child, and looks at the different
types of injury, ranging from active to passive, physical to emotional,
that stop children from reaching their full potential psychologically
and physically. Case studies are provided to illustrate the features
of emotional abuse, and chapters are devoted to the assessment and
prediction of emotional abuse, effects of emotional abuse as the
child grows up, intervention and treatment and working with the
family as a whole. |

coping. A detailed session framework complete with behavioral expectations and
reward systems, along with illustrative case examples, further demonstrate how
to implement GB-CBT.

comprehensive assessment procedures. The book describes activities for
individual, conjoint child-caregiver, and group therapy that can be used in a

Recognizing and Helping the Neglected
Child: Evidence-Based Practice for Assessment and Intervention. Brigid Daniel, Julie Taylor & Jane Daniel, $31.95
Neglect is the most common form of child
abuse, but recognizing the signs, assessing the family's and the child's needs,
and undertaking intervention can be difficult and complicated.
This book outlines how neglect can be
recognized, examining the signs that parents give to signal their need for
help, and the signs that a child's needs are not being met. It then covers how
practitioners should respond, including assessment, planning, and appropriate
interventions. The authors examine whether practitioners are well-equipped to
recognize child neglect, and whether professional responses to help could be
swifter. Finally, the prevention of child neglect is considered, and a proposal
for a public health approach and early intervention is outlined. The book
includes case studies and makes recommendations for policy and practice.
This book will be vital for all those
likely to encounter child neglect, including child and family social workers,
health visitors, teachers with safeguarding responsibilities, nursery staff,
and educational psychologists. |

Safeguarding Children
from Emotional Maltreatment: What Works. Jane Barlow &
Anita Schrader McMillan, $33.95
Emotional maltreatment is widespread and has a profoundly harmful effect on a child's development. The effects of abuse are often carried into adulthood, and emotionally abused children are more likely to experience a range of problems as adults including depression, substance misuse and eating disorders. This book sets out to identify 'what works' in preventing emotional maltreatment from recurring.
Since most emotional maltreatment takes place within the family home, involves the primary care-giver and reflects ongoing patterns of damaging parent-child interaction rather than isolated incidents, interventions directly targeting parent-child interactions are highlighted. The authors explore the available treatments, identifying which approaches work, who they work with and the limitations of each. Conclusions and recommendations based on the key findings are presented, including implications for practice and over-arching issues to be addressed.
Safeguarding Children from Emotional Maltreatment is essential reading for all practitioners working in the field of emotional abuse and neglect, including social workers, health visitors, community pediatricians and psychologists. |

Shattered Lives:
Children Who Live with Courage and Dignity. Camila Batmanghelidjh,
$20.95
Shattered Lives bears witness
to the lives of children who have experienced abuse and neglect,
and highlights the effects of early traumatic episodes. Chapters
take the form of letters to a child capturing their life experiences,
hugely impacted by sexual abuse, parental substance misuse and loss,
leading to feelings of shame, rejection and worthlessness. Batmanghelidjh
offers understanding for those baffled by these hard-to-reach children
and warns against stigmatizing them for their problem behaviour.
In her critique of existing structures, she exposes the plight of
children who are overlooked by the authorities and denounces those
who value bureaucracy over the welfare of the individual child.
Society’s failure to acknowledge the truth of their experiences
and act to change the environment in which such mistreatment can
flourish is, she strongly argues, leading to the death of childhood.
The book is a clarion call for change. |

Sibling Abuse Trauma: Assessment and
Intervention Strategies for Children, Families, and Adults, 2nd Edition. John Caffaro, $61.95

strengths-based approach to individual and family psychotherapy guided by the
effects of abuse trauma on the development of sibling relationships. It fills a
void in the training and education of family violence professionals and
validates sibling experiences as an important part of human development. The
second edition has been revised and updated to reflect more than 15 years of
advances in the child maltreatment field. Current essential information on
sibling development is provided to clarify the context in which sibling
relationships unfold, and research on sibling relationships throughout the life
course is incorporated into a clinical approach for treating victims and
survivors.
This edition focuses primarily on assessment
and treatment. Rather than choosing to concentrate solely on sibling sexual
abuse or assault, the book applies a more inclusive, integrative approach to
the study of sibling abuse trauma. The clinical material and experiences
portrayed take a trauma-informed systemic orientation and represent children,
families, and adults who may not have been described adequately elsewhere.
Concrete illustrations and extended session transcripts demonstrate therapeutic
principles in action. Whether you incorporate these findings into your clinical
practice or become inspired to conduct your own research, SIBLING ABUSE
TRAUMA will improve your understanding of how to treat and evaluate
individuals and families with sibling abuse-related concerns. |

Mudaly & Chris Goddard, $35.95

counselling. The Truth is Longer Than a Lie is invaluable
