Abstract

This systematic review analyzes eleven empirically based articles relevant to evaluating treatments and interventions for perpetrators of child physical abuse. The articles provide a clear picture of the limited research available in this area. The review describes current themes in research and interventions, common challenges in working with families in which child physical abuse has occurred, gaps in the current research, and suggestions for practice, policy, and future research.
