Child Maltreatment and Domestic Violence
The library of G.W. Medical's published works represents the latest documentation and most researched wisdom on child protection. Far superior to competing products in the marketplace, these publications go through a rigorous peer review, and all images and content are subject to a stringent quality assurance process. Similarly, these references have an effective design and are printed and bound using high-quality materials. Retaining the same identity throughout the collection, each of the titles is stamped with the same gold foil, and each book is bound in cloth with the same color scheme.
G.W. Medical's Child Maltreatment: A Clinical Guide and Photographic Reference has been called the "encyclopedia of child abuse," but it is only the entire set of publications that can truly be considered encyclopedic in scope, as each title covers comprehensively one realm within the broader topics of child abuse and domestic violence with little overlap of information. The links on this page will take you to each of the publications' individual pages, where you can find detailed information on the contents of each book. We invite you to learn as much as you like before making a purchase.
