“…Confusion will continue to plague the field, though, until the definitions sf abuse and neglect are applied nniformly by all researchers. Abusied children r~eportedly function at lower intellectual levels an~d are more withdrawn, more anxious, Less socially competent, and more fearful of physical contact than nonabused children (Camras, Grow, & Ribordy, 1983;Perry, Doran, & Wells, 1983). In addition, abused children are more aggressive and have lower selfDownloaded by [Simon Fraser University] at 13:16 05 June 2016 esteem than controls (Friedrich & Einbender, 1983;Reidy, 1980;Reidy, Anderegg, Tracy, & Cotler, 1980).…”

Despite recognition of child maltreatment as a major national problem, there have been no controlled studies that evaluated the efficacy of individual psychotherapy with maltreated children. Thirty‐six preschoolers who were attending a therapeutic nursery were provided with either 15 weeks of directive individual play therapy to supplement their ongoing milieu therapy or with their milieu therapy only. Of 13 outcome measures, children in the treatment group were superior to control children at posttest on amount of isolated play, and there were no significant differences at a 10‐week followup assessment. Possible explanations for the general lack of significant results were discussed.

Speech/language problems have frequently been noted in the delayed development of maltreated children. Yet, the exact role which abuse and/or neglect plays in the communication disorder is often unclear. The purpose of this paper is to examine available information on the interactional environment, the general developmental consequences, as well as the specific speech and language problems associated with the maltreatment of children. The results of selected studies suggest the presence of language problems, particularly the possibility of language difficulties in neglected children.SPEECH-LANGUAGE PATHOLOGISTS and audiologists, when working in their professional capacity, may be specified as reporters of child abuse and neglect. Although each state may provide individually defined statutes, the seriousness of our professional responsibility can only be appreciated through increased knowledge in the area of child maltreatment. Identifying and working successfully with children who are abused or neglected will result from a concerted effort to understand the multitude of factors involved in this problem area.As noted in current literature, abuse and neglect can take several forms including physical neglect and abuse, sexual abuse, and emotional abuse and neglect. Each type is differentiated by the consequences to the child, as well as the characteristic behaviors that the child victim displays. In cases of physical abuse, for example, not only are physical manifestations described, but psychological, academic, behavioral, and communicative factors are also identified as cues to
