MANDATED REPORTING OF SUSPECTED CHILD ABUSE
Ethics, Law, and Policy, 2nd Edition
Seth C. Kalichman
American Psychological Association, 1999
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: The reader will become familiar with an extensive set of guidelines and recommendations on how to respond to mandated reporting laws; numerous scenarios to highlight how to report suspicions; and an expanded casebook demonstrating the consequences of reporting or not reporting.
Child maltreatment is one of the greatest social maladies of our time, and current statistics, although staggering, may reflect only the surface of the problem. Human service professionals -- including psychologists, social workers, teachers, and psychiatrists -- are required by law to report known or suspected child maltreatment in the United States. This book offers expanded guidelines and recommendations on how problems posed by the law can be avoided. It also reviews issues in the mandatory reporting of abuse on other vulnerable populations, such as the elderly and developmentally disabled. In addition, a new chapter on therapeutic jurisprudence explores the therapeutic potential of mandatory reporting laws.
Seth C. Kalichman is Professor of Psychology, The University of Connecticut, Storrs.
