"This revised edition provides a much-needed resource for the classroom. Practical strategies for assessing and intervening with children who have experienced maltreatment are based on a sound theoretical framework. The authors' depth of clinical experience is communicated with clear, credible examples. This book is particularly valuable for master's-level students, and also is an important resource for practitioners already in the field."--Caroline L. Burry, PhD, University of Maryland, Baltimore"This second edition provides an exceptionally insightful integration of the conceptual foundations and practical strategies for clinical work with abused children and their families. The authors translate the concepts and research findings of developmental psychopathology into rich case formulations and comprehensive guidelines for clinical practice. Grounded in attachment theory, the book provides an up-to-date, detailed roadmap for addressing the multiple challenges and systems involved in psychotherapy with maltreated children. This book will be of high interest to both beginning and experienced therapists across a wide range of disciplines. There is no book that better combines the knowledge base underlying maltreatment with the nuts and bolts of clinical practice."--Eric J. Mash, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of Calgary what are the 10 best books of all time Psychotherapy of Abused and Neglected Children, Second Edition

Good Info although hard to read formatBy Linda M JensenThis book was required for a class but I think I will keep it as the information presented is good with a lot of supporting references included. I just do not care for the long chapter format.... so this is hard to read at times. The tables have been the most informative and easiest to read which give a great summary of information. This book is better than most so called "text books". Linda BSW, MSW student4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Psychotherapy of Abused and Neglected Children, 2nd EditionBy J. R. GerardiI'm reading this book for a Masters level class on children in trauma. This book is more on the "technical side" of psychotherapy. It's a lot of information, not an easy read and takes a bit to get into it but once you do there's a lot to gain! I read ten pages a day using a high lighter to emphasize portions which has been huge for me. Overall the book provides a lot of great information which the authors deliver professionally. They also give application for the reader and examples. Good book I definitely recommend.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Buy with Confidence!By BudsmommaExcellent seller!
