The Untreatable Family.
Jones, David P. H.
Child Abuse and Neglect: The International Journal, v11 n3 p409-20 1987
A proportion of abusive families are resistive to treatment and reabuse their children (various studies cite rates of 16 to 60 per cent). Factors associated with poor treatment outcome include persistent denial of abuse, lack of empathy, use of severe types of abuse, and previous violent acts. (Author/JDD)
