Shaking and Other Non-Accidental Head Injuries in Children
Mac Keith Press (Hersteller)
978-1-898683-71-1 (ISBN)
In this book, a highly distinguished team of experts present their findings on 'shaken baby syndrome', covering the diagnosis of the syndrome itself and the long-term disability that results, which, unlike other forms of child abuse associated with psychological scars, is also associated with a high degree of life-long physical and intellectual disability. This book is essential reading for all professionals concerned with diagnosing and treating this syndrome and is also an invaluable resource for non-medical professionals. Special chapters focus on police action in cases of non-accidental injury and the current legal situation around what is commonly, but now disputedly, referred to as 'shaken baby syndrome'.
