Child Maltreatment Training Module and Visuals |
Written by leading experts in various areas of child maltreatment, these comprehensive training materials are arranged in three modules to provide professionals and those they train with the most comprehensive curriculum available. Each module contains an instructor's manual with 36 individual lesson exercises—including recognizing signs of physical abuse and sexual abuse— to accompany each section. These materials guide instructors through the preparation of a lesson and provide visual presentation aids in the form of color images, diagrams, and tables. The three volumes of the training modules cover the following topics: Physical Signs of Abuse uses color photographs and radiographs to teach students to distinguish abusive from nonabusive injuries. Using real case studies, this module provides practical insight into the process of confirming suspicions of abuse. Sexual, Emotional & Psychological Abuse teaches students to identify the signs of sexual abuse. With sections that discuss the signs of at-risk youth and resulting psychological disorders, this section provides clear guidance for identifying sources of trauma that remain difficult to detect. Investigation, Care & Prevention teaches the steps to take when abuse or neglect is discovered, the details of the agencies and procedures involved in mandated reporting, and strategies for preventing child abuse. The new Child Maltreatment: A Clinical Guide and Reference, 3rd Edition, serves as the official companion textbook for the Training Modules. With 43 chapters and 1,000 pages from 76 contributors, this fully updated text is a comprehensive child abuse textbook. It is available as part of a two-volume set. |

| Reviews |
The Child Maltreatment 3-Volume Module is by far the most comprehensive collection of visual case material available for child abuse education. We use the module for training medical students and residents in pediatrics. The information provided is practical and the case histories and findings are very detailed and realistic. It's an invaluable tool for educating health professionals about child abuse and maltreatment.

We have recently purchased your Child Maltreatment Training Module to supplement the [Child Maltreatment] Clinical Guide and Photographic Reference published by your company. After our first review of the materials we are very pleased. We intend to use parts of the training module in sessions with the new law enforcement officers and child protective service workers in the coming year. The sexual abuse portion of the module appears to be very comprehensive. We expect that using this material will shave hours off of our preparation time for speaking engagements. Thank you so much for your efforts in publishing good educational materials for those of us working in the child maltreatment fields.

G.W. Medical Publishing has developed a very informative, comprehensive training program that can be easily adapted to instruct law enforcement officers who investigate child abuse cases. The quality of the training materials is top notch and complete. The color clinical photos and radiographs alone are training treasures. My staff loves it.
