Protecting the well-being of the child
How does neglect occur? How can experts correctly gauge the danger for the child? What effects do neglected children suffer from – often throughout their whole lives? What are the families like in which children are victims of neglect? How does one deal with these, often highly stressed, families? What timely assistance is available? The authors offer answers to all these questions and, using case examples, convey an impression of how neglect appears in practice.

- Is neglect a social problem?
- How is neglect expressed?
- When children’s needs are disregarded: types of neglect
- Incidence and effects of neglect
- Child, parents, family: traits in cases of neglect
- How can one assess neglect?
- Recognizing risks, taking advantage of resources
- When suspicion arises: assessing endangerment
- What forms can help take?
- Beginnings are decisive: establishing contact with the family
- Quality criteria for assistance
- The earlier the better: timely assistance
