Child abuse and neglect is a scourge in our global community. In the United States alone, the nation loses an average of five children a day to child abuse and neglect. The impact of child abuse and neglect is significant. It can affect esteem, health and development, learning outcomes, and more importantly, closeness between a child and their parent. This book highlights the issues associated with child abuse and neglect and captures the nuances of its effect on child development and psychosocial well-being. The authors are from the international community and speak to the dynamics of child abuse and neglect across nations.
