Child abuse horrifies the public, produces fierce debate in the media, and creates anxiety in even the most experienced professionals. This book examines the available evidence and challenges the myths and controversies that have emerged in this contested area. The importance of the child protection–psychiatry interface and the extremes of child abuse homicide are examined. Essential reading for any professional in the field of child protection.
