All counselors would benefit from having this book on their shelves." — Ali Cunningham Abbott, PhD, associate professor of counseling, Lynn University, USA

Dr. Binensztok took this critical concept and wrote about it in a way that transcends professional fields, so the book can be used by and benefit providers involved with mandated reporting. This book will help counselors feel confident and prepared as they navigate the complexities of child maltreatment." — Ashley J.
