Physical Abuse and Neglect: A Training Curriculum – PDF/EPUB Version Downloadable

The ultimate text on child maltreatment is now available as a self-study resource with optional continuing education credit. Physical Abuse and Neglect: A Training Curriculum, the first in a series of training modules based on the highly respected “Science of Intervention Library” of forensic titles from STM Learning, condenses the content of Child Maltreatment: A Clinical Guide and Reference to eight topical chapters meant to familiarize learners with the common forms of abuse and neglect. The training curriculum contains activities, test questions, photographic references, and a PowerPoint teaching presentation and is accredited through Saint Louis University’s School of Medicine and School of Nursing to provide CME/CNE credit(s). The aim for Physical Abuse and Neglect: A Training Curriculum is flexibility in learning. Formatted for both self-study and group instructional use, the workbook and CD-ROM allow for portable, straightforward learning. Physical Abuse and Neglect: A Training Curriculum answers a pressing need for educational resources devoted to enabling those who work with children to understand and recognize potential cases of neglect or abuse and to train them in appropriate courses of action in what are often highly sensitive circumstances. The
program is not only aimed at forensic diagnosis, but is also meant to remove the uncertainty often felt when facing a situation in which a child may be at risk.
The information in Physical Abuse and Neglect is designed to be studied either as a whole or on a chapter-by-chapter basis. The original price includes an initial certification through Saint Louis University; additional certificates are available for a reasonable fee of $30.00 for nurses and $45.00 for physicians. A new edition, offered for those who want a self-study resource without the expense of continuing education, is now available at a lower price point.
