Böcker av Howard Dubowitz

It is very clear that children in every country experience abuse and neglect. This book includes descriptions of the child welfare systems in different countries that illustrate several common themes: the lack of clear definitions, ambiguous policies, laws not being implemented, and limited data on the extent and nature of the problem.

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.
