Summary: | Reviews the books, Child Abuse: An Interactional Event by Alfred Kadushin, Judith A. Martin, and James McGloin (1981) and Psychological Approaches to Child Abuse edited by Neil Frude (1981). These two volumes on child abuse are quite different in form, but they share the assumption that child abuse is not a totally separate category of response from more normal punitive behavior. The value of the first book is that it provides an important corrective to the popular notion that child abuse is mainly a problem involving battered babies and grossly irrational parents. Second book is a collection of fifteen papers. Space does not permit summarization of other papers in this volume. In general, the selection is quite good, and some of the papers are splendid.
