<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><em>Child Welfare and Child Protection: An Introduction</em> prepares future child welfare professionals to tackle the complex and challenging work associated with responding to child maltreatment. Developed by a former child protection professional and a social work scholar, this book draws upon current research and features cases that simulate those child welfare professionals are likely to encounter in the field.<br /> <br /> After an historical examination of the evolution of child protection in the United States, the book focuses on understanding the causes of child maltreatment and risk assessment. Readers are presented with a compelling case and the opportunity to see how it develops over the course of three chapters that address the investigative process, the delivery of ongoing services to assist families in addressing high-risk behaviors, and helping children achieve timely permanency when returning home is not an option.<br /> <br /> Other chapters present foster parent and foster child perspectives, additional considerations for special needs populations, and suggestions for working effectively on a child protection team. Every effort is made to prepare readers for the stresses and strains associated with working in child protection, including a dedicated chapter on self-care.<br /> <br /> Featuring foundational and critical information for future professionals, <em>Child Welfare and Child Protection</em> is well-suited for introductory undergraduate and graduate courses.</p><p><strong>David Royse</strong> is a professor of social work at the University of Kentucky. He is the author of 10 books on multiple topics and numerous professional articles exploring issues in mental health, healthcare, research, program evaluation, and child welfare.</p><p>Previously a child welfare practitioner in the commonwealth of Kentucky, <strong>Austin Griffiths</strong> is an assistant professor at Western Kentucky University. Dr. Griffiths is passionate about improving the lives of vulnerable children and their families, as well as supporting and advocating for a healthy and vibrant child welfare workforce.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Finally, a text that accurately captures what it is like to work in public child welfare. The content and real-world suggestions could only come from authors who have worked in the field. Forty plus years of practicing, leading, and teaching in child welfare tells me this is the new standard for the universities and/or state child welfare training programs." </em>Larry Breitenstein M.S.W., Ph.D., Professor Emeritus, Slippery Rock University, Cofounder Pennsylvania's Child Welfare Training Program</strong></p><p><br></p><p>"I have had the opportunity to review a copy of this text since it was published. This book is truly in it's own category as it covers far and above what most current Introduction to Child Welfare texts do. The case examples and short vignettes capture the depth of experiences that my colleagues in DCFS in Louisiana have expressed to me for so long. The chapter on self-care is poignant and practical and so important for new and veteran child welfare professionals. Students will benefit greatly from the perspectives of Dr. Royse and Dr. Griffiths. These are respected authors and practitioners in the field of child welfare. We have recommended this text to our university partners here in Louisiana." </em>Andrew J. Fultz, MSW, LCSW, Louisiana Title IV-E Child Welfare Program Manager, Northwestern State University</strong></p><p><br></p><p>"Child Welfare and Child Protection: An Introduction is informative reading that captures real-life scenarios for a better understanding of the characteristics of child welfare." </em>Maxine McGregor, MSW, MS, MSW Program Director and Instructor, School of Social Work, University of Central Florida</strong></p><br>
