Twenty-four questions (and answers) about professional practice in the area of child abuse

Article Abstract:

Child abuse is one of the major problems in the United States, and psychologists are faced with complex issues regarding child abuse. A report by the American Psychological Association Committee on Professional Practice and Standards shows that there is no personality profile to assess whether a person is a child abuser. The abusers are a heterogeneous group with different personality styles. Child abuse may take place between children or between adults and children, and it is not a linear process.
