Description
An atlas of the clinical signs of child abuse, both physical and sexual, including differentiated diagnosis. This work presents all clinical photographs within a balanced context to reinforce that clinical signs are only a part of the diagnostic process. Features of the book include: a collection of clinical signs; differential diagnoses, with incidence data and suggested diagnostic tests; guidance on borderline clinical signs where there is suspicion but unclear diagnosis; photographs of bruising/lesions in dark skins; case histories together with other clinical data.
