Download or read book C. Henry Kempe: A 50 Year Legacy to the Field of Child Abuse and Neglect written by Richard D. Krugman and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-07-13 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book series, “Child Maltreatment: Contemporary Issues in Research and Policy.” will consist of a state of the art handbook (to be revised every five years) and two to three volumes per year. The first volume in this series is a legacy to C. Henry Kempe. This is a timely publication because 2012 marks 50 years after the appearance of the foundational article by C. Henry Kempe and his colleagues, “The Battered-Child Syndrome.” This volume capitalizes on this 50 year anniversary to stand back and assess the field from the perspective that Dr. Kempe’s early contributions and ideas are still being played out in practice and policy today. The volume will be released at the next ISPCAN meeting, also in 2012.
