Understanding Child Abuse and Neglect
Seventh Edition
Cynthia Crosson-Tower
Basic Approach:
This best-selling text offers a comprehensive look at child maltreatment, incorporating history, case vignettes, and the author's own experience as a child protection worker.
The author covers the history of child welfare, gives an overview of functional and dysfunctional families, and contrasts healthy child development with development hampered by abuse and neglect. In addition, Understanding Child Abuse and Neglect explains case management procedures and focuses on how various professionals become involved in the child protection process and how treatment is undertaken. The text concludes with a discussion of prevention and a consideration of the future.

What reviewers are saying:
“I found the Crosson-Tower text to be superior in both breadth and depth of the topics covered. Combined with the positive responses I have received from my students I would not consider using any other text.” --- William M. McGuigan, Pennsylvania State University
“This text provides a wealth of useful information. Many of the students advise me that they will not return or sell back their books at the end of the quarter because it is a good reference for them while they are working within their profession.” --Theresa Johnson, Ohio University
“This text is easily readable, and it clearly presents a basic overview of child welfare issues. Clarity is one of the greatest strengths of the book, as is the broad range of the discussion on child welfare topics.” ---Toni Chance, University of Maryland
