| Description: |
This text analyzes the effects that maltreatment - ranging from physical violence to sexual and emotional abuse - have on the developing brain. It describes principles of neurodevelopment and neurobiology, and examines clinical issues of child maltreatment within this context. |
| Synopsis: |
Demonstrating the effects of abuse on brain development, the author urges readers to protect children. The brain is what makes us human and the experiences of childhood sculpt the brain. Deprivation, terror, sexual exploitation and emotional abuse affect the biology of the developing brain permanently. This book describes simple principles of neurodevelopment and neurobiology and examines clinical issues of child maltreatment within this context, providing a conceptual approach to the assessment, treatment and prevention of child abuse and neglect. |
