ERRORS IN SCORING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE PARENT-CHILD CONFLICT TACTICS SCALES

["Murray Straus" <mas2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Colleagues:

It is with some embarrassment that I am writing to call your attention to
the following:

CORRECTIONS FOR SCORING THE PARENT-CHILD CONFLICT TACTICS SCALES

 The article on the Parent-Child Conflict Tactics Scales (CTSPC) in Child
Abuse and Neglect, Volume 22, No. 4,  pages 249-270 should be corrected as
follows:

Page 256, line 6:  The items in the Severe Physical Assault subscale include
item I, not item L.

Page 268, right column: Item V should be scored as part of the Minor
Physical Assault subscale, not as part of the Severe Physical Assault
subscale.

With apologies,
