Robert Geffner is a professor of psychology at the California School of Professional Psychology (and the editor of the Haworth book series on maltreatment), Peter Jaffe the director of the London Family Court Clinic in Ontario, Canada and Marlies Sudermann clinical professor at the University of Western Ontario Department of Psychology. There are 36 contributors from nursing, social work , law, psychology and education, but medicine seems to have been left our, inspite of family violence being an interdisciplinary field. The book has twenty chapters with a used friendly index that will help the student find relevant information. Due to the contributors the focus is on social, law and psychology issues with experiences from the United States, Canada and New Zealand. All in all a book that should be on the shelves of professionals involved with assessment, treatment and prevention of child abuse and neglect.Professor Joav Merrick, MD, DMSc Medical Director, Division for Mental Retardation.
