Overview

This important new book will help you assess: * reactions to the discovery that her child has been abused * link with the perpetrator * personal qualities, resources and networks * capacities to parent the abused child(ren) and siblings * work with professional agencies and/or support systems. This assessment process is split up in a structured and manageable way. Each chapter provides a review of the research, practice wisdom and theory, and provides a range of practical tools for operational use. An assessment schedule is provided that offers both positive and worrying examples of the mother's ability to protect: it can be used to evaluate with the mother where they are at a particular point, and can be used to negotiate strategies to help them move on.
