Abstract
An integrative framework is provided for interpretation of the wide array of findings in the child abuse literature. This multiple aetiology model has implications for treatment and prevention, which would provide programmes which are far more comprehensive than those inspired by a single aetiology approach. The role of the school psychologist as a critical participant in identification and treatment of'at risk' families is discussed.Keywords
