From the reviews:“The purpose is to alert pediatricians, pediatric dermatologists, and forensic experts to the signs of child abuse. … This book achieves its purpose in enlightening dermatologists and pediatricians as to the broad range of skin manifestations due to child abuse and the medical diagnoses that must be considered and eliminated before the diagnosis of child abuse is made. The authors have created an important reference on a subject about which all physicians should be educated and alert.” (Patricia Wong, Doody’s Book Reviews, June, 2013)
