First‐time mothers in home visitation services utilizing child development specialists
Professionals in the field of child development were employed to provide home visitation services to 156 mothers and infants prenatally through the infants' first birthdays. Compared to a control group of mothers ( n = 107), the intervention mothers utilized more community resources, had safer homes, had more appropriate developmental expectations, had better understanding of noncorporal punishment, and had behaviors that were more accepting and …

First-time young mothers living in rural communities use corporal punishment with their toddlers
Forty first-time, young mothers with toddlers, living in rural counties in a southwestern state, participated in this descriptive study investigating their use of corporal punishment. Results showed mothers used corporal punishment in attempts to reduce age-appropriate behaviors, especially at mealtime and in learning situations. Prevention and early intervention programs are needed to not only teach expected child behaviors, but also to model an…

Parent education home visitation program
Adolescent and nonadolescent mothers were visited weekly by trained and supervised child development paraprofessionals. The mothers were taught parenting skills, child development, and were linked to community services. Repeated measures multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was used to determine group by time effects. After 6 months of intervention, the mothers significantly improved their knowledge of (1) infant development; (2) empathic r…
Maltreated children's language and speech development
Seventy-four preschool-age maltreated children's receptive and expressive language, speech skills, general language and cognitive abilities were assessed to investigate the language, speech and cognitive skills of abused, neglected, and abused and neglected children. While all three groups were delayed, neglect was the type of maltreatment most strongly associated with both expressive and receptive language delays and overall language delay. The …
Maltreated children's self-concept
Perceived competence and social acceptance scores of 17 maltreated children enrolled in therapeutic day treatment were compared to those of 17 maltreated children who had not received the program services. Multivariate and follow-up univariate analyses indicated developmental gains and enhancement of self-concept among the treatment group when compared to controls and to their own pretreatment levels
Self-esteem and depression in abusive, neglecting, and nonmaltreating mothers
Groups of 18 physically abusive mothers, 19 neglecting mothers, and their matched controls were compared on depression and self-esteem. The controls were matched on maternal age, ethnic background, and years of education. The physically abusive mothers had significantly higher levels of depression and lower self-esteem than did the matched controls. The neglecting mothers had higher levels of depression, but not lower self-esteem than did the mat…
Differential Developmental Progress of Maltreated Children in Day Treatment
Few attempts have been made to evaluate which subgroups of a given population of maltreated children are served best by a therapeutic day treatment program. The study reported in this article demonstrates that children enrolled in such a program make developmental gains but that not all children benefit equally. These findings indicate the need for social workers to evaluate treatment programs critically and to use the evaluation results to modif…
