Reviews
"This book is a 'must read' if you work with child maltreatment in any capacity....This book is also invaluable for other professionals working with child maltreatment....This book is particularly useful in understanding how to work with families from a culturally competent practice perspective."--"Journal of Systemic Therapies" "Although her book is aimed primarily at social workers, counselors and law enforcement personnel, it is a valuable resource for school psychologists and any professional who works with diverse clients....Filling a needed conceptual and practical void, "Child Abuse and Culture" is the first book available that integrates the topic of child maltreatment and culture. It is therefore an important book for school psychologists and any professionals who work with children. School psychologists will find Fontes' "Child Abuse and Culture" to be a useful and valuable resource."--"Newspaper of the National Association of School Psychologists" "There is an important unintended audience for this book. "Child Abuse and Culture,.".provides pediatricians with a unique perspective on the daily interactions that we have with children and families....an accessible and thoughtful discussion of how we can improve the protection of children and their families despite challenging cultural barriers....Fontes had created a strong structure from which we can begin our work."--"Archives of Pediatric Adolescent Medicine""" "A pedagogical treasure. Fontes possesses a skill found in the best trial attorneys. She can translate complex issues and prolific technical rhetoric into interesting, practical, and easily understandable form....Offers a clear, comprehensible read for both theamateur and professional and is packed with useful information which can be used in classrooms and training across professions....This book is a paradigm of fairness in the name of child safety while simultaneously approaching each client with an impartial and open-minded willingness to consider the cultural factors which shape the family and play a role in the alleged child maltreatment....The book is laced with concrete examples of cultural differences that arise in the context of child protection....Personally, I have employed many strategies suggested in "Child Abuse and Culture" in my child advocacy class and in practice, and have found that students, as well as myself, are now learning how to approach their clients' cultural issues with more awareness, sensitivity, and respect. This book offers an important cultural competence tool for scores of professions. I applaud Fontes' work over the last 15 years and highly encourage proliferation of this book."--"Family Court Review" "Provides a wealth of information for professionals that work with children and families within a multicultural context....Provides some useful pointers and will be an invaluable resource for child welfare practitioners working in social care and health. Overall, this is a comprehensive and very well written book that is distinctive in the breadth of coverage profiling different racial and cultural groups' experiences."--"British Journal of Social Work" "This is a thoughtful and well researched book that raises some very important questions for consideration and provides some thought provoking examples....The questions at the end of each chapter would be valuable for those trainingpractitioners."--"Journal of Social Work Practice", "Fontes's writing is concise and to the point. She uses examples to illustrate major concepts and then describes practical steps agencies and individual workers can take to maximize their effectiveness."-Jeffrey L. Edleson, PhD, School of Social Work, University of Minnesota, USA "A pedagogical treasure... I have employed many strategies suggested in Child Abuse and Culture in my child advocacy class and in practice, and have found that students, as well as myself, are now learning how to approach their clients' cultural issues with more awareness, sensitivity, and respect."- Family Court Review "Highly readable and instructive, this is an indispensable how-to guide for professionals and trainees in child protection services, hospitals, schools, and mental health programs. Fontes offers essential resources in the form of interviewing techniques and individual, group, and community approaches that are sensitive to ethnicity, race, social class, and gender."- Celia Jaes Falicov, PhD, past president, American Family Therapy Academy, USA "A 'must read' if you work with child maltreatment in any capacity."-Journal of Systemic Therapies, "Lisa Aronson Fontes has devoted her career to understanding the diverse families who use child welfare services. This book distills the lessons she has learned and suggests strategies to make child welfare programs, and particularly child protection services, more effective in their work with families from diverse backgrounds and cultures. Fontes's writing is concise and to the point. She uses examples to illustrate major concepts and then describes practical steps agencies and individual workers can take to maximize their effectiveness. This book would serve as a great supplementary text for introductory child welfare classes at both the BA and MSW level."--Jeffrey L. Edleson, PhD, School of Social Work, University of Minnesota "Well written and organized, this book provides practical ideas for making child protection services equitable for families from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds--a topic that cannot be ignored in our multicultural societies. Grounding the work in a solid theoretical framework, Fontes sensitively addresses the various issues involved in making services and agencies culturally competent. This book is an essential read for undergraduate and graduate students in social work and related fields, as well as for practitioners and researchers."--Sarah Maiter, PhD, School of Social Work, Wilfrid Laurier University, Canada "Dr. Fontes expertly interweaves the importance of using a cultural framework with practical suggestions for working with children and families. This book fills a key gap in the professional literature. Novice as well as experienced clinicians will find this book useful in helping them examine the cultural attitudes, biases, and strengthsthat affect their assessment, intervention, consultation, prevention, and training roles, particularly in relation to child maltreatment issues."--David A. Wolfe, PhD, Center for Addiction and Mental Health, London, Ontario, Canada "Highly readable and instructive, this is an indispensable how-to guide for professionals and trainees in child protection services, hospitals, schools, and mental health programs. Fontes offers essential resources in the form of interviewing techniques and individual, group, and community approaches that are sensitive to ethnicity, race, social class, and gender. Fontes is compassionate and evenhanded--fair to all those involved with the difficult and life--transforming decisions precipitated by family violence in diverse populations."--Celia Jaes Falicov, PhD, past president, American Family Therapy Academy "Children and families identified and served by the child welfare system are racially, ethnically, and culturally diverse. Moreover, children of color are disproportionately reported to child protection services and overrepresented in the child welfare system. This timely, informative book is thoughtful and inclusive, drawing on the literature on race, culture, and ethnicity as well as the child welfare literature. Fontes makes excellent use of illustrative case examples from the literature and her own practice experience. This book is a 'must read' for child welfare professionals, who should be child--and family--sensitive and culturally competent."--Kathleen Coulborn Faller, PhD, ACSW, School of Social Work, University of Michigan, Provides a comprehensive presentation of complex cultural issues with abundant examples drawn from [the author's] experience as a psychologist, educator, and researcher....Appropriate for anyone providing social services to families, parents, or children....Deals with difficult and complicated subjects but is easy to read and understand. The book provides information in a manner that allows readers to quickly and easily apply new knowledge to their daily practice, and provides strategies to discuss difficult issues with children, parents, and fellow co-workers/clinicians. This book opens our eyes to areas crucial for true understanding of culture's role in family life. Since immigration and the increasing diversity of the American landscape will continue into the future, this book belongs on the reference shelf of every child welfare worker., "Lisa Aronson Fontes has devoted her career to understanding the diverse families who use child welfare services.
