Mandated reporting of suspected child abuse

by Seth C. Kalichman

"The second edition of Mandated Reporting of Suspected Child Abuse offers expanded popular guidelines and recommendations distilled from the latest empirical literature to respond to mandatory reporting laws in a variety of practice settings. Data on the implications of reporting or not reporting are given life in an expanded "casebook within a book" that summarizes how problems posed by the law can be avoided. New sections also review issues in the mandatory reporting of abuse in other vulnerable populations. In addition, a new chapter on therapeutic jurisprudence explores the therapeutic potential of mandatory reporting laws."--BOOK JACKET.
