I teach a course in physical indicators for the state s child abuse investigators, law enforcement personnel and protective services staff. I m always looking for references that will help me explain what to look for. When I saw your book with its color photography, I thought, This is great. It s like putting the whole course into a pocket book. My students can t take slides with them. This book has all the etiologies of the injuries all that s going to help them make a quicker identification. And it s quick and small enough to put into a car or briefcase. -- Cynthia Lawlor, M.S., Child Welfare Instructor, Professional Development Center, Florida International University I ve spent 27 years with the New Orleans Police Department; 10 of those years as Commander of the Child Abuse Unit. I m retired now and do officer training. Quick Reference s pictures are good and it s sized so that you can carry it in a brief case. It s very helpful ... -- Lieutenant Teddy Daigle, (Retired, New Orleans Police Department) Monteleone s Quick Reference is a welcome addition to a rapidly changing field. While pocket sized to permit easy portability, the content has not suffered. Quick Reference offers the reader a vast amount of readily accessible, clinically pertinent information.

Levy, M.D.Chair, Department of Pediatrics; Director, Pediatric Ecology, Program, Colombia Grant Hospital; Chicago, IL, President, International Society for the Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect This pocket guide can be a very useful reference to new and experienced professionals in the field -- Charles Wilson, MSSW, Executive Director, National Children s Advocacy Center, Huntsville, Alabama
