  • Chapter

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASID,volume 16))

Abstract

In order to assess what we know about the treatment of child abuse, we probably ought to consider things within an historical context. In order to understand where we are, we must look at where we have come from.

Findings presented here have been reported by the author elsewhere; notably in “Effective Treatment of Child Abuse and Neglect”, Social Work, November, 1979.
