The book covers key issues such as resilience and vulnerability
and the impact of protective or adverse environments. Different
stages of development (infancy, school age and adolescence) are
discussed, and attachment theory is used to offer insights into
the impact of abuse and neglect on development. A key feature is
the inclusion of case studies and activities to allow the reader
to improve their understanding and reflect on good practice. This
second edition is fully updated to reflect the new policy context
and multi-disciplinary practice, and contains updated practice
examples to take into account contemporary issues affecting
children and young people.
