TY - JOUR PY - 1977// TI - The hospitalized abused child: An interdisciplinary approach JO - Child abuse and neglect A1 - Kauffman, C. A1 - Neill, K. SP - 179 EP - 186 VL - 1 IS - 1 N2 - The interdisciplinary approach to family diagnosis and treatment of child abuse often begins in the hospital. The tone established at this time has crucial implications for the treatment program following discharge from the hospital. There is, however, a paucity of information in the literature regarding the best utilization of this critical phase of treatment. Often this period is viewed as a time for assessment, diagnosis and treatment of the physical injuries while neglecting to recognize and utilize the potential for planned therapeutic intervention during the hospital stay. This paper identifies methods and interventions in implementing a treatment plan particular to this phase of the over-all treatment of the child and family.
