THESE TOPICS INCLUDE THE BATTERED CHILD, CHARACTERISTICS OF ABUSE AND ABUSIVE FAMILIES, EMOTIONAL NEGLECT, LIVING WITH ABUSE IN ABUSIVE FAMILIES, INTAKE PROCEDURES, COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT AND RESPONSIBILITY, IMPLICATIONS OF THE LAW, AND COMMUNICATION PROBLEMS. IN ADDITION TO PROVIDING A THOROUGH EXAMINATION OF THE HISTORY OF CHILD ABUSE, THE DEVELOPMENT OF FEDERAL AND STATE POLICY REGARDING ABUSE AND REPORTING PROCEDURES, AND THE NATURE AND SCOPE OF EXISTING EFFORTS IN THE AREA OF PROTECTIVE SERVICES, THE CASSETTES ARE AN ELEMENT OF A COMPREHENSIVE TRAINING SEMINAR ON CHILD ABUSE TREATMENT AND INTERVENTION.
