The Unkindest Cut: The Emotional Maltreatment Of Children

by Naomi Haines Griffith, Janet S. Zigler

Emotional maltreatment is a serious threat to children, and ultimately to all of us, yet it has long been ignored despite the fact it dramatically affects our lives every day. This book is readable, research based, book which begins with a review of what children need before focusing on what is abusive and injurious. The book is an informative look at this little understood form of child abuse with current research, legal precedents and practical suggestions for approach.
