Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
This book deals with child abuse and neglect as it presents itself in primary care. Readers will gain a better understanding of how the child protection process works. The book takes a broad perspective, taking into account domestic violence, adult survivors of abuse and the often forgotten plight of children who are in the care of local authorities. A primary care perspective of this complex and challenging subject is maintained throughout.
MoreLong description:
This book deals with child abuse and neglect as it presents itself in primary care. All health professionals, including those who work in primary care, have an important role to play in the child protection process. Inappropriate management of suspected instances of child abuse may result in serious implications for the child, family and involved professionals. Primary health care teams have specific and unmet training needs in this area and many general practitioners express anxiety regarding their involvement in child protection work. The overall aim of this book is to enable members of the primary health care team to fulfil their responsibilities in the protection of children from the threat of abuse or neglect. Readers are made aware of the skills required both to protect children and to subsequently maintain relationships with families. The contents have been extended to include child protection issues in our multi-cultural society along with comparison of different systems across Europe. The book is primarily aimed at GPs and their teams; social workers and health care managers will also benefit from its unique treatment of child protection issues in a primary care setting.
'This book addresses these issues with sagacity and imagination. The reader (all primary care team members would benefit from it) is offered facts, skills, attitudes and insights to help in this difficult area. We can all do child protection better - let us use this book to achieve that aim.'
From the foreword by Professor Michael Pringle, Immediate Past Chairman, Council of Royal College of General Practitioners
This is an extremely useful and informative book that I really enjoyed reading. It is written in a very readable and accessible way; the individual chapters are short, succinct and well written, each by different authors with different perspectives but combining into a cohesive whole . . . this is an excellent book that provides much in the way of good advice and good ideas not only for GPs and other members of primary care teams but also for other health and social care professionals who need an insight into the contribution of primary care to child protection. It would make an excellent standard text for all GPs, especially those in training.
