Child Abuse & Neglect: A Diagnostic Guide for Physicians, Surgeons, Pathologists, Dentists, Nurses and Social Workers

Written by and for professionals in disciplines ranging from general and child abuse pediatrics to surgery, emergency medicine, pathology, dentistry, nursing and social work, this book reflects the latest knowledge in this field. It contains high-quality representative photographs of diagnostic possibilities. The authors stress throughout the importance of including a broad range of possibilities in their differential diagnoses so that a non-inflicted condition is not labelled child abuse, and an inflicted injury cannot be mistaken for a more innocent condition.
