Ito, K., Noguchi, K., Furuhashi, T., Senga, N., & Cavelzani, A. (2025). Clinical research and practices to support families at risk of child neglect and maltreatment. Cambridge Scholars Publishing.

Clinical Research and Practices to Support Families at Risk of Child Neglect and Maltreatment, co-authored by Alessandro Cavelzani and colleagues, offers best practices for the prevention, early identification, and intervention of child maltreatment from multidisciplinary perspectives. It explores the complexities of child maltreatment, including physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, as well as neglect.

The guide features research-based chapters centering on video analyses of cases of child and parent interactions; the Hikikomori phenomenon of social alienation in adolescents; and guidance enabling professional leaders and human resources managers to reduce the job-stress and burnout of their working-parent employees, as work-family conflicts often negatively affect children.
