I have found The Mandated Reporter to be the best of its type available and recently adopted it as the text for my Child Abuse and Neglect class at Metropolitan State College in Denver, CO.

Mandated Reporter brings together pertinent information . . . the chapter selection highlights the necessary diagnosing criteria for physical abuse, neglect, and sexual abuse, as well as for the controversial and less known multiple personality disorder and Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy. The chapters on Abuse, Schools, and the Law and Psychological Abuse are excellent and important additions for mandated reporters . . . Each chapter is written from a different perspective and by authors from different disciplines and credentials.
