THIS ILLUSTRATED SHORT BIBLIOGRAPHY ON CHILD ABUSE IS INTENDED FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS AND TEACHERS.
Abstract
THE ANNOTATED LIST WAS COMPILED FROM TWO POINTS OF VIEW--THAT OF A SPECIAL FIELD LIBRARIAN FIELDING MORE THAN 1,200 REQUESTS A YEAR FOR MATERIAL ON CHILD ABUSE AND THAT OF A HIGH SCHOOL LIBRARIAN SELECTING AND CIRCULATING THE RIGHT MATERIAL IN ANSWER TO CONTINUOUS REQUESTS. TECHNICAL MATERIAL ORIENTED PRIMARILY TO SOCIAL WORKERS AND OTHER PROFESSIONALS HAS BEEN EXCLUDED. ALL MATERIAL LISTED IS CURRENTLY IN PRINT. SINCE THE SUBJECT OF CHILD ABUSE IS BEST HANDLED BY 11TH OR 12TH GRADERS, THE LIST IS GEARED TOWARDS THOSE GRADES. OLDER BOOKS AND PAMPHLETS ARE INCLUDED IF THE PROBLEM IS STATED SIMPLY AND THE WRITING IS NONTECHNICAL ENOUGH FOR THE AVERAGE HIGH SCHOOL READER. INCLUDED IN THE BIBLIOGRAPHY ARE 9 BOOKS, 11 PAMPHLETS, 14 ARTICLES, 3 FILMS, AND ONE FILMSTRIP. A LIST OF SOURCES ALSO IS GIVEN. PHOTOGRAPHS AND DRAWINGS ILLUSTRATE THE ARTICLE. (MJW)
