Synopsis

This full-color, photographic atlas portrays the abuse story in graphic detail. Abbreviated case histories guide the reader in interpreting the photographs and accompany most of the photos. In addition, a collection of children's works completed during art therapy and accompanying commentary document abuse in a way words could not. New to this second edition are chapters on the role of the medical examiner and art therapist. The value of this collection as a reference or as a teaching tool is unequaled, and it is a must-have for anyone who works with children, including psychologists and forensic specialists.
