Abstract:
Assessment of Maltreatment in Childhood and Adolescence In view of mounting evidence for substantial prognostic relevance of child maltreatment for the future developmental course, assessment of maltreatment in children and adolescents is increasingly gaining attention. At the same time, maltreatment assessment is replete with difficulties, ranging from the definition of maltreatment and establishment of threshold values determining when events meet prognostically relevant criteria, to poor agreement between sources. The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of instruments for assessing maltreatment in children and adolescents. This overview serves as a point of departure to emphasize the importance of various sources for the purpose of assessing maltreatment and to consider the unique role of the child's or young person's perspective. We conclude with preliminary proposals regarding the role of maltreatment assessment in clinical practice.
