Model child abuse treatment programs

[BRubin525@xxxxxxx]

Dear Researchers

Dear Dr. Bross,

I am a clinical psychologist and teach at the California School of
Professional Psychology and also am the Director of a family therapy training
and treatment center.  I have been planning on developing a comprehensive
child abuse treatment program.  Currently we get alot of referrals from CPS
and the kids and adults have usually been seen in individual or family
therapy.  I believe a more comprehensive program with groups, parenting
classes etc. would be more effective.  I have been attempting to find out the
names of the  esteemed model child abuse treatment programs that have been
supported by research or are highly respected.
I am hoping that I can contact them and see if they have manuals which I might
purchase.  I have my own ideas of what i'd like to create but think I can
learn from the works of others.  I wonder if you might have some ideas where I
can get this information.    The program I am developing would treat
physically abusing families and families that have been referred for neglect.
I can imagine including sexually abused children and non-offending spouses,
however, I am a bit intimidated to work with sexually abusing offenders due to
my lack of knowledge in this area.  Any suggestions where I can find out about
these programs.
Thanks so much for your time.  Bart Rubin, Ph.D., Berkeley, CA.  510-741-7286
