“…Other researchers have explored how pregnancy intention is associated with long-term adverse outcomes on children's health and development and have found that unintended pregnancies are associated with child abuse and neglect (Altemeier, O'Connor, Vietze, Sandler, & Sherrod, 1984;Barber, Axinn, & Thornton, 1999;Williams, 1983) and child abuse alone (Zuravin, 1991). Other researchers found that unintended pregnancies were associated with less opportunities for skill development and lower-quality relationships between mother and child possibly because of mothers' depressive symptoms or lack of emotional investment (Barber et al, 1999;Baydar, 1995).…”

Although a substantial body of literature explores the adverse physical and mental health consequences associated with intimate partner violence, only a limited body of international research has explored the effect of intimate partner violence on women's fertility control. Yet a compelling argument can be made of the indirect mechanism through which the climate of fear and control surrounding abusive relationships could limit women's ability to control their fertility. Lack of fertility control can lead to unintended pregnancies, which are also associated with adverse outcomes for women's and infant health, especially in developing countries. The association between intimate partner violence and unintended pregnancy also suggests serious social effects spawned by a cycle of unintended childbearing in abusive households. Therefore, further investigation is warranted to explore the nature of the association as well as the mechanisms through which these phenomena operate in the United States and in developing countries.

“…The limitations of the training in child-protection work recently has received much attention (e.g., some reports suggested that many caseworkers did not even have training in social-work practice [Williams, 1983]). Parent aides who are often selected for their "natural" caregiving skills may not have many of the skills required to handle the emotional and risk issues involved in such cases.…”

“…While child maltreatment is viewed as a major social problem in today’s society, the development of successful interventions has remained elusive (Williams, 1983). At the root of this failure may be a lack of conceptual preparation in the currently available treatment strategies.…”

Successful interventions with child maltreating families have remained elusive. A lack of conceptual preparation in their development is cited as the reason for their failure. This paper recommends that more emphasis be placed on basic assessment research utilizing a cognitive behavioural developmental framework. Such a framework involving three core deficit areas is described. These areas were selected because they could potentially explain both the occurrence of parental aggression and the negative sequelae observed among maltreated children. Using such a framework to guide research would foster the development of a more comprehensive theory of child maltreatment and improved treatment and prevention. Obstacles to completing such research are described, as well as potential solutions.
