Library Journal Review

An update to the 2004 edition, edited by Dawn D. Matthews, this revised and expanded guide comprises 68 chapters and seven major segments, which lay out the most current definitions of abuse and expanding cruelty channels, including cyber bullying. With the University of Michigan Health System's Dr. David A. Cooke as medical guide, Shannon (Learning Disabilities Sourcebook) differentiates between abuse and neglect, defines the warning signs of various abuses, details intercession and prevention techniques, and offers positive parenting strategies and additional intervention resources. This difficult subject, with its many complicated facets, is explained with candor and sensitivity. (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
