Donald C. Bross, |
Donald C. Bross, Ph.D., J.D., Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and Director of Education and Legal Counsel for the Kempe Children's Center of the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, addresses child abuse in the context of its connection and significance to critical problems in contemporary human experience. He identifies the broad range of contributors to progress in understanding, preventing, and treating child abuse, ranging from the fields of social work, psychology, and pediatrics to new forms of imaging and genetics. Dr. Bross notes the current attention directed to encouraging "ownership" of the problem on the part of the child and family and suggests a focus on the trauma inflicted on developing children by family members as the richest potential source for further illuminating child abuse and thus improving the human condition. |
