Do you have the citation for the Gelles' publication you are referring to?

         In a recent publication Richard Gelles discusses the concept of 
treatment resistant families--those families that present both a high 
likelihood of serious child maltreatment recurrence and low likelihood of 
responding to current intervention strategies.
         Does anyone know of additional writings on this topic--either 
theoretical or empirical? Thanks in advance.
