How Can I Not?: Reflections on a Life Evaluating and Treating Victims of Child Maltreatment - 6804

Where does child Abuse begin and how can this change? Child Abuse is often a silent epidemic in our culture and its long standing impact on the health of future generations is at stake. How can we as a society not continue to make the necessary overall systemic changes to this preventable condition that affects so many children, stealing their childhood, and paving the way at times for abuse of their own children and a lifetime of physical ills as well as dysfunctional behaviors? As a Child Abuse Pediatrician over my 45 year career, I have never doubted this concept: that as I help to protect the health of my young patients, particularly those who have been abused or neglected, it will impact them across their entire lifespan. How Can I Not?, chronicles the local, state and federal problems that are inherent in the issue of child maltreatment. Clinical cases are utilized to illustrate the complexities and cracks that exist when health care, law, social services, and cultural norms and practices converge. In this book you will learn: The value of resiliency. How to prevent childhood sexual abuse, physical and emotional abuse. How to prevent abusive head trauma and medical child abuse. What governmental changes are needed. Educate, Intervene, Prevent - three things we all can do to stop child maltreatment.
