Product Description
The book begins by offering a historical analysis of feminist awareness of abuse by considering some of the early challenges and the emerging recognition of the connections between women, children, and abuse. The book then divides into three sections. Section One focuses on contemporary issues and debates such as the protection of children, satanic ritual abuse, and prostitution. Section Two considers practice issues, in particular, conferencing, children, in care, sexuality, work with abusers, and effective communication with abused children with learning difficulties. The book concludes with a suggestion for a new model of practice.
