Presents a comprehensive and critical portrait -- based on theory, research and clinical practice experience -- of the phenomenon of neglect. The interdisciplinary team of contributors move far beyond the current child welfare focus on parental omissions in care to address the many complex and pervasive underpinnings of neglect.
Although child neglect is the most common form of abuse, the extant research literature has mostly ignored this form of child maltreatment. Now editor Howard Dubowitz and an outstanding group of leaders in the field of child abuse and neglect offer perspectives on a range of important issues pertaining to the neglect of children. Neglected Children is the first book to focus on this most-common type of child maltreatment, presenting a comprehensive and critical portrait of the phenomenon of neglect, based on theory, research, and clinical practice experience.
