Child Maltreatment Assessment-Volume 2 
Sexual, Emotional, and Psychological Abuse

Child Maltreatment Assessment Volume 2 serves to help readers identify and interpret sexual, emotional, and psychological forms of abuse in children by providing chapters on the topics of sexual abuse, neglect and abandonment, torture, and more. While sexual abuse typically has some physical indicators, many cases of emotional and psychological abuse do not. By providing detailed examples and descriptions of abusive scenarios and injuries that readers may encounter in the field, this workbook aims to better prepare experienced professionals and students alike.
