Abstract
ISSUES CONSIDERED IN THE DISCUSSION ON THE EFFECTIVE USE OF CONSULTANTS ARE ESTABLISHING THE NEED FOR A CONSULTANT, SELECTING A CONSULTANT, PREPARING FOR A CONSULTANT, AND THE IMPORTANCE OF EXPLAINING CLIENT EXPECTATIONS TO THE CONSULTANT. THIS PARTICULAR DIRECTORY WAS PREPARED PRIMARILY FOR USE IN THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, EDUCATION, AND WELFARE REGION III (DELAWARE, MARYLAND, PENNSYLVANIA, VIRGINIA, WEST VIRGINIA, AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA) AND THE NORTHEASTERN UNITED STATES. PERSONS INCLUDED IN THE DIRECTORY HAVE EXPERTISE IN CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT AND RELATED FIELDS AND/OR TRAINING, AND EACH HAS EXPRESSED A WILLINGNESS TO ACT AS CONSULTANT OR TRAINER IN MATTERS RELATED TO CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT. INCLUSION IN THE DIRECTORY DOES NOT REPRESENT ENDORSEMENT BY THE REGION III CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT RESOURCE CENTER; HOWEVER, PERSONS WHO HAVE WORKED WITH THE STAFF FROM THE CENTER ARE NOTED WITH A STAR. PROFESSIONALS FROM THE FIELDS OF EDUCATION, LAW, MEDICINE, PSYCHOLOGY, AND SOCIAL WORK ARE PRESENTED UNDER PROFESSIONAL CATEGORIES, AND FOLLOWING ADDRESS INFORMATION, A PARAGRAPH ON BACKGROUND AND EXPERIENCE IS PROVIDED. THE SECTION LISTING TRAINING SPECIALISTS AND THEIR ADDRESSES ALSO INCLUDES A PARAGRAPH OF BACKGROUND INFORMATION AND EXPERIENCE FOR EACH PERSON. AN INDEX LISTS THE NAMES IN THE DIRECTORY ALPHABETICALLY. (RCB)
