Book excerpt: Situations of denied child abuse are often deemed to be ⬠̃impossibleâ¬" or ⬠̃untreatableâ¬" by statutory and treatment professionals. These cases can consume enormous amounts of professional time and energy and frequently become bogged down by ongoing professional-family mistrust and dispute. Often enough, the decision to close such cases comes about not because the children are safe, but rather because the professionals themselves are exhausted by the dispute. This book presents an innovative, safety-focused, partnership-based, practice model called Resolutions, which provides an alternate approach to working with the problem of denied child abuse. In this book, Turnell and Essex describe each stage of their practical model and demonstrate the approach through many practice examples from therapists, statutory social workers and other professionals working in Europe, North America and Australasia.
