In this volume, Kathleen Nader has compiled an articulate and comprehensive guide to the complex process of assessment in this area. Her discussion of the methods and measures for assessing trauma - addressing the multiple factors of the event, the child, and the adults involved, including case examples to illustrate the integration of these different facets - demonstrates a broad scope and inclusive depth that make this work an essential addition to the field of trauma assessment."--BOOK JACKET Notes Formerly CIP.
