Child abuse and neglect

Marko M usluge d.o.o. Zagreb (2003.)

Help for professionals and parents to recognise symptoms of child abuse and to respond appropriately.

This is the first book in Croatia written by Croatian authors who dedicated most of their professional work to this difficult problem. The special value of this book is that it is impregnated with love for children and a drive to protect them. This book was born from their experience and it has examples from practice, drawings, messages and letters. It contains a review of types of abuse, its effects on the child and his/her development, the consequences and instructions by professionals working with children how to recognise abuse and help the child victim. This book is available only in Croatian.
