Abstract

Child maltreatment presents a significant public health challenge and is strongly associated with development of depression during childhood and adolescence. Not all abused or neglected children are in the child welfare system, but most children in the foster care system have a history of maltreatment. Involvement with the child welfare system presents an additional risk for psychopathology. The role of child maltreatment and child welfare involvement in development of depression in children and adolescents is reviewed and effective treatments are discussed. Clinicians working with foster children must collaborate with care providers and other stakeholders to enhance the child's placement permanence.
