OVER 1500 PUBLICATIONS RELATING TO PROTECTIVE SERVICES ARE LISTED AND ABSTRACTS ARE PROVIDED FOR 700 ARTICLES; A GRID INDEXING SYSTEM IS USED TO INDICATE LEVEL OF CONTENT BY MAJOR AND MINOR POINTS OF EMPHASIS.
Abstract
MOST OF THE MATERIALS INCLUDED ARE JOURNAL ARTICLES, ALTHOUGH A FEW BOOKS AND STUDIES ARE LISTED. ALL ARE EITHER WRITTEN IN ENGLISH OR ARE ENGLISH TRANSLATIONS. MOST HAVE BEEN PUBLISHED SINCE 1960. THE COMPLETE LISTING IS BY AUTHOR NAME. THE MORE SIGNIFICANT ARTICLES, 700 OF THEM, HAVE BEEN GIVEN A MULTILEVEL ABSTRACT WITH BOTH GRID AND CLASSIFICATION CROSS-INDEXING. THE ABSTRACTS ARE ARRANGED TO SHOW LEVEL OF CONTENT WITHIN THE ARTICLE: MAIN EMPHASIS, A MAJOR EMPHASIS, PARAGRAPH(S), AND MENTION (I.E. ONE OR TWO SENTENCES). A GRID INDEX WHICH APPEARS WITH THE ABSTRACT INDICATES THE TARGET POPULATION FOR THE ARTICLE BY CASE TYPE AND BY APPROPRIATE TYPE OF CASEWORKER. A DEFINITION OF TERMS ON THE HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL AXES OF THE GRID IS GIVEN. THE SUBJECT INDEX ALSO INDICATES MAIN EMPHASIS AND MAJOR EMPHASIS OF EACH ARTICLE. TOPICS COVERED ARE GENERALIZED ABUSE/NEGLECT, GENERALIZED ABUSE (ARTICLES LESS GENERAL THAN IN THE PRECEDING CATEGORY), GENERALIED NEGLECT, PHYSICAL ABUSE, PHYSICAL NEGLECT, EMOTIONAL ABUSE, EMOTIONAL NEGLECT, SEXUAL ABUSE, EXPLOITATION, HISTORICAL ARTICLES, AND TRAINING. WITHIN EACH TOPIC, CATEGORIES COVERED ARE GENERAL ARTICLES, THE INITIAL COMPLAINT, INITIAL INTERVIEW, INDICATORS, PROBLEM DEFINITION, TREATMENT, LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS, REFERRAL, ANCILLARY SERVICES, FOLLOWUP PREVENTION, AND STATISTICS. IF NO MATERIALS HAVE BEEN FOUND FOR A CERTAIN CATEGORY, THIS IS NOTED. THIS ARRANGEMENT HAS BEEN USED TO ENABLE THE RESEARCHER TO IDENTIFY LITERATURE BY AUTHOR NAME, SCAN THE INDIXES AND ABSTRACTS FOR ARTICLES OR TOPICS OF INTEREST, OR SEARCH THE GRIDS FOR SPECIFIC INFORMATION RELATIVE TO A PARTICULAR CASE TYPE OR FORM OF CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES.
