Dear Colleagues, 

I have a student with whom I am working who is investigating the role
of protective factors in the parenting of fathers who were themselves
neglected as children. She has found an excellent literature as regards
physical abuse and protective factors (e.g., Dante Cicchetti and his
colleagues work), but we've run into somewhat of a roadblock in finding
research literature directly relevant to neglect. Is anyone aware of
other major research work in this area? If so, your assistance would be
appreciated. 

Regards, 

Dab
