This important, highly praised guide to detection and management of one of the most distressing aspects of paediatric medicine has been thoroughly updated in the light of new recommendations and research. The latest thinking on Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy and a new section on fatal child abuse have been included. The comprehensive coverage makes it an invaluable reference for the very wide group concerned with children's welfare, including GPs, emergency staff, paediatricians, police surgeons, psychiatrists, nurses, health visitors, social workers and lawyers.
