Hele abstrakt på originalsprog:
The book “Handbook of Child Maltreatment” (Springer, 2017) offers a comprehensive exploration of child maltreatment’s multifaceted nature, delving into its epidemiology, etiology, and profound developmental consequences. Edited by experts, it synthesizes current research to illuminate how abuse and neglect—ranging from physical and sexual harm to emotional deprivation—disrupt psychological, social, and neurobiological growth, often with lasting echoes into adulthood. The text examines risk factors like poverty, parental stress, and societal neglect, alongside protective mechanisms such as resilience and intervention. It critically reviews prevention strategies, evidence-based treatments, and policy frameworks, emphasizing interdisciplinary approaches to mitigate maltreatment’s toll. While spotlighting advances in understanding trauma’s impact on brain development, particularly stress-responsive systems, it also identifies gaps—calling for refined assessment tools and longitudinal studies to better grasp individual outcomes. This volume stands as a vital resource for researchers, clinicians, and policymakers tackling this pervasive societal challenge.
