Book excerpt: This unique handbook highlights major areas of practice as they apply to maltreated children: medical findings, clinical assessment, individual, group, and family therapy, testifying in court, and the role of medication in treatment. Unlike other volumes on the subject, this book puts the information in context, with a "big picture" overview of how the therapist fits into the larger system into which the child has been swept up - child protective services, legal proceedings, medical issues, disputes regarding custody, etc. - Back cover
