tailieunhanh - Child Abuse and Neglect - A Multidimensional Approach

Child maltreatment constitutes a social problem that affects all societies of the world. A recent study by the World Health Organisation points out that millions of children suffer some form of maltreatment and require medical and social attention. It should be noted that around 53,000 children are murdered every year; the prevalence of sexual abuse is 73 million (7%) and 150 million (14%) in boys and girls, respectively, under 18 years of age; and between 25% and 50% of the children inform that they have been physically abused. . | CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT -A MULTIDIMENSIONAL APPROACH Edited by Alexander Muela Child Abuse and Neglect - A Multidimensional Approach http 3035 Edited by Alexander Muela Contributors Alexander Muela Elena López de Arana Alexander Barandiaran Inaki Larrea José Ramón Vitoria Essam Al-Shail Ahmed Hassan Abdullah Aldowaish Hoda Kattan Anne Lazenbatt Chantal Cyr Karine Dubois-Comtois Geneviève Michel Caroline Poulin Katherine Pascuzzo Valérie Losier Marilyne Dumais Diane St-Laurent Ellen Moss Thozama Mandisa Lutya Thais H.
