BTW, you make want to review the Child Abuse Potential Inventory (CAPI)--do 
a search on the Net and you should be able to find it.

Subject: Assessment of Workers' Beliefs About Abuse
Date: Mon, 05 Nov 2001 17:03:41 -0500

I am looking for a simple, "self awareness" raising measure of one's
personal history of discipline styles or abuse, or of one's beliefs
about discipline and abuse.

I want to use it during a workshop on personal beliefs about discipline
that I am conducting with family support workers.  The participants are
90% African American or Haitian American, and most have several years'
experience in working with children at risk.  The workshop focuses on
world wide variations in definitions of abuse, and then leads workers to
develop a consensus based definition of what is "never OK" in
disciplining children.  The purpose is to take the focus off of spanking
and on to neglect plus emotional and physical abuse.

Suggestions and sources, please?
