"Opening with a lively discussion of the nature and place of theory, power and values in practice, the book goes on to capture the perspectives of abused children through moving personal accounts by abuse survivors. It draws on child development research and an ecological theoretical approach to provide an insightful examination of the personal and environmental factors contributing to child maltreatment. It includes details of how abused children can be helped through individual, family and group work, substitute care and preventative strategies."--BOOK JACKET.
