Description: |
This course examines and describes the transformation of individual morality to the legal mandate of society, particularly the legal and ethical requirements for professionals regarding reporting child abuse. In addition, specific criteria are identified that social workers, licensed therapists, and mental health and social services workers can use to distinguish physical abuse from unreasonably severe corporal punishment. These same criteria both identify increasing potential for unreasonably severe corporal punishment, and define and create powerful intervention strategies and boundaries for working with parents with problematic and potentially abusive discipline techniques.
