Drawing on current research, contributors to this collection address key themes in child neglect from both a health and a social work perspective. The papers describe the implications of recent research for practice; the nature of emotional child neglect and abuse; using the Graded Care Profile; parental substance misuse; and the separate roles of fathers and mothers.
