"This book is aimed at anyone who works with or spends time with children. This ranges from professionals whose specialist tasks include helping those who have been abused or neglected, such as social workers, child and adolescent mental health professionals or children's guardians within the Family Justice system, through to those who see children every day, such as teachers. It will also be an invaluable guide for doctors, health visitors, and all those advising concerned parents."--BOOK JACKET.
