Essential reading for clinicians and researchers working in this area, the book will be of interest to any professional involved with abused and traumatized children. -Readings: A Journal of Reviews and Commentary in Mental Health This volume is based on solid research and very recommendable to child mental health workers. -Journal of Psychology in Africa This is an invaluable, beautifully written work on a number of levels. As a window into the psychological sequelae of chronic and acute child abuse and neglect, it is comprehensive and first-rate. As a conceptual frame highlighting the heuristic value of an object representational model in child clinical practice, it is splendid. And last, as a handbook for the seamless integration of clinical and scholarly research on the projective assessment of children, it is superb. This book will last and thrive as a called-upon reference in the fields of forensic psychology, psychological testing, and object relations theory. -Steven B. Tuber, PhD, ABPP City University of New York at City College This superbly written book provides a much needed integration of theory and research regarding the psychological condition of abused children. Complete with rich clinical material, it will be especially useful for the clinician or researcher who wishes to understand the abused child's internal world. The explication and clinical illustrations of the two most useful assessment measures of object representations--the Mutuality of Autonomy scale and the Social Cognition Object Representation scale--are especially helpful. The book should be read by all professionals who work with, or are concerned about, abused and traumatized children. -Phebe Cramer, Ph.D. Williams College
