"This second edition provides an exceptionally insightful integration of the conceptual foundations and practical strategies for clinical work with abused children and their families....Grounded in attachment theory, the book provides an up-to-date, detailed roadmap for addressing the multiple challenges and systems involved in psychotherapy with maltreated children. This book will be of high interest to both beginning and experienced therapists across a wide range of disciplines. There is no book that better combines the knowledge base underlying maltreatment with the nuts and bolts of clinical practice."
-Eric J. Mash, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of Calgary
"This revised edition provides a much-needed resource for the classroom....The authors' depth of clinical experience is communicated with clear, credible examples. This book is particularly valuable for master's-level students, and also is an important resource for practitioners already in the field."
-Caroline L. Burry, PhD, School of Social Work, University of Maryland, Baltimore
"This detailed volume is an important contribution for clinicans who find themselves trying to cope with the strong feelings and complex demands evoked by children who have been mistreated. As these youngsters continue to fill clinics, treatment centers, and psychiatric hospitals, this book will become an invaluable resource for those called on to treat them."
