Intergenerational Transmission of Child Maltreatment

Part of the book series: SpringerBriefs in Social Work ((BRIEFSSOWO))

Abstract

Various theories have been used to understand child maltreatment and to guide the interventions and prevention of child maltreatment. This chapter presents different theoretical frameworks that are useful in understanding Intergenerational Transmission of Child Maltreatment (ITCM), including Social Learning Theory, Attachment Theory, ecological models, and strengths and resilience frameworks. The conclusion highlights how risk and protective factors can guide the conceptualization and response to ITCM.
