商品描述

This book examines the latest methodological advancements in child maltreatment research and practice. It addresses long-standing challenges when working with and serving the child maltreatment population, while offering pragmatic solutions for scientists, caseworkers, and providers. Chapters explore methodological innovations in such areas as screening and detecting child maltreatment, collecting objective data in longitudinal research, causal modeling of adverse health effects, and advancements in both preventive and clinical interventions.
Key areas of coverage include methods for:
  • Screening for child maltreatment at the point of contact.
  • Reducing bias and promoting causal inference when examining health effects and etiological processes.
  • Promoting representative samples, objective data collection, and integration of child welfare and medical records to enhance equitable access to care.
  • Intervening with children and families at risk for and exposed to maltreatment.

Innovative Methods in Child Maltreatment Research and Practice is a must-have reference for researchers, professors, and graduate students as well as clinicians, therapists, and other professionals in developmental, clinical child, and school psychology.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書探討了兒童虐待研究和實踐中的最新方法論進展。它針對在服務兒童虐待族群時所面臨的長期挑戰,並為科學家、社工和提供者提供實用的解決方案。各章節探討了在篩檢和檢測兒童虐待、在縱向研究中收集客觀數據、對不良健康影響進行因果建模,以及在預防和臨床干預方面的進展等領域的方法論創新。

主要涵蓋的領域包括以下方法:
- 在接觸點篩檢兒童虐待。
- 在檢視健康影響和病因過程時減少偏見並促進因果推斷。
- 促進具代表性的樣本、客觀數據收集,以及整合兒童福利和醫療記錄,以增強公平獲得護理的機會。
- 對於有虐待風險和已遭受虐待的兒童及家庭進行干預。

《兒童虐待研究與實踐中的創新方法》是研究人員、教授、研究生以及發展心理學、臨床兒童心理學和學校心理學的臨床醫生、治療師及其他專業人士必備的參考書。

作者簡介


Chad Shenk, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor in the Departments of Human Development & Family Studies and Pediatrics at Penn State. He is also a licensed clinical psychologist with specialty training in trauma exposure and pediatric psychology who actively sees patients exposed to child maltreatment through Penn State's Department of Pediatrics. Dr. Shenk's basic science research is centered on improving methods for causal estimation and target identification in prospective cohort studies of child trauma and adverse health across the lifespan. This work identifies biomarkers and mechanisms of various health conditions in the child trauma population using a multiple levels of analysis approach (e.g., biological, behavioral, environmental). His clinical trials and translational research therefore centers on the optimization of behavioral interventions applied following exposure to child trauma by engaging identified targets and mechanisms to treat psychiatric outcomes moreeffectively.

查德·申克(Chad Shenk),博士,是賓州州立大學人類發展與家庭研究系及小兒科系的副教授。他同時也是一位持牌臨床心理學家,專門訓練於創傷暴露和小兒心理學,並透過賓州州立大學的小兒科部門積極看診遭受兒童虐待的病患。申克博士的基礎科學研究專注於改善在兒童創傷及其對健康影響的前瞻性隊列研究中因果估計和目標識別的方法。這項工作使用多層次分析方法(例如,生物學、行為學、環境)來識別兒童創傷人群中各種健康狀況的生物標記和機制。因此,他的臨床試驗和轉化研究專注於優化在兒童創傷暴露後應用的行為干預,通過參與識別的目標和機制來更有效地治療精神健康結果。
