This is just a plea from the heart to all 'out there'. Is there anyone who is researching child abuse and neglect apart from sexual abuse? All I ever seem to see is research in this area. While not wishing to undermine or devalue such research or the impact of sexual abuse, what concerns me is that here in the UK, at least, abuse appears to becoming synonymous with sexual abuse. Other forms of abuse are also extremely detrimental to childrens' development - especially neglect - so is this apparent absolute emphasis on sexual abuse just my mistaken perception? Excuse my ranting! Maria Robinson
