Summary:Mothers accused and abused: addressing complex psychological needs brings together stories about mothers who are accused of harming their children and the challenges to professionals who work with them. By recognising the long-standing, unmet dependency needs of abused and neglected women, the book argues that longer term engagement can prevent a seemingly endless repetition of court hearings and imprisonment, and thereby address cycles of neglect. Mothers accused and abused will be a valuable resource to those working in the criminal and civil justice systems, social work and mental health as well as others who, in a professional or personal capacity, encounter troubled mothers and their children
