[Heidi · Rating 5 out of 5]

I read the tenth edition-it’s a great intro in working with populations that have been traumatized as children, and has a slant towards the side of social work. I found it helpful for my class on counseling victims and perps of family trauma and abuse.

Excellent content; errors abound. Crosson-Tower, get a better editor.

Required reading, but I really enjoyed learning this subject matter. It gave me a new perspective on abuse and neglect in America.

I'm going to school for Social Work, so this was a good and informational read for me. I recommend it for readers looking for information associated with child abuse and neglect.
