This review is from: Despair Turned Into Rage: Understanding and Helping Abused, Neglected, and Abandoned Youth (Paperback)

This short, quick read eloquently and simply makes the connection between child abuse and neglect and the behaviors that often result. An especially good read for youth workers, teachers, childcare workers and others who need to understand what drives the anger and maladaptive behavior of some youth and need skills to effectively help these youth and those affecting/affected by their behaviors. This little book's value is high, as well, for those who advocate for youth and those with the power to design and fund appropriate prevention and interventions.
