The tragedy of child abuse and neglect is in the forefront of public attention. Yet, without a conceptual framework, research in this area has been highly fragmented. This volume provides a comprehensive, integrated, child-oriented research agenda for the nation. Presents an overview of definitions and scope; etiology, consequences, treatment, and prevention; and infrastructure and ethics.
