“…A number of studies have observed significant differences on measures of dispositional empathy between abusive and nonabusive mothers [Evans, 1980;Letourneau, 1981;Marino, 1992;Melnick and Hurley, 1969;Wiehe, 1985Wiehe, , 2003] and between high-and low-risk parents for child physical abuse [Milner et al, 1995;De Pau´l, 2003, 2004]. However, the utilization of questionnaires to assess empathic emotions has received some criticism.…”

It has been proposed that abusive parents and parents at high risk for child physical abuse could be more likely to view children's behavior as being motivated by hostile intent [e.g., Milner, 1993], as compared to nonabusive and low-risk parents. This kind of misattribution of other's behavior may inhibit empathic emotion, and therefore, could block the inhibiting effect of a victim's pain cues on aggression [Baron, 1979]. An experiment was designed to analyze the moderating effect of an adult victim's intent on aggression in high-and low-risk participants for child physical abuse. A 2 Â 2 factorial design based upon two levels of the participant's risk status (high, low) and two levels of victim's intent (positive, ambiguous) was employed. All participants observed an adult victim's pain cues. Ninety-five (48 high and 47 low risk for child physical abuse) undergraduate females enrolled in courses at the University of the Basque Country participated in the experiment. The main effects of victims' intent and of participants' risk status were statistically significant. Participants in the ambiguous victim's intent condition aggressed significantly more than participants in the positive victim's intent condition. Moreover, high-risk participants aggressed more than low-risk participants regardless of the victim's intent. A significant interaction between risk status and victim's intent was expected. High-risk subjects for child physical abuse were expected to aggress more than low-risk subjects only in the ambiguous victim's intent condition. However, results did not support this hypothesis.

“…Deep-seated hostility and anger and an impulsive and rigid nature further characterize abusers (Johnson & Morse, 1968;Laury, 1970). A pronounced lack of warmth (Giovannoni, 1971;Birrell & Birrell, 1968) and an inability to show affection and empathy (Morse, 1970;Melnick & Hurley, 1969) are further characteristics of this group. Finally, many abusers feel inadequate or incompetent in their particular role (Johnson & Morse, 1968;Bennie & Sclare, 1969).…”

A plan for developing an information system that provides a basis for improved decision making and planning at all levels in a child abuse and neglect service system is offered. The goal attainment scaling method (GAS) is suggested as a means for assisting the client and social worker in identifying needs and in developing a treatment plan for meeting these needs. The proposed information system is outlined using the goal attainment scaling instrument as the basic informational unit.

“…Los primeros modelos planteados fueron los modelos psiquiátricos provenientes, principalmente, de la perspectiva psicoanalítica (Zigler y Hall, 1989). Estos modelos planteaban que los/las padres/madres maltratantes eran enfermos mentales, psicóticos y sádicos, así como que tenían trastornos de personalidad (Kaufman, 1962;Melnick y Hurley, 1969;Spinetta y Rigler, 1972). La explicación de la conducta maltratante, a través de la existencia de trastornos mentales, sin embargo, sería rechazada tras una década de investigación (Wolfe, 1987).…”

RESUMEN:En la actualidad una de las cuestiones que presenta mayor interés en el ámbito profesional de la Protección Infantil es la necesidad de establecer sistemas de trabajo que posibiliten la coordinación entre los diferentes recursos e instituciones y entre las diferentes disciplinas que trabajan alrededor de la familia y la infancia. El sistema educativo forma parte imprescindible del sistema de recursos que trabajan con los niños y niñas víctimas de malos tratos. Sin embargo, son muchas las dificultades y reticencias que presentan los profesionales de la educación (maestros, profesores, personal directivo) para detectar estas situaciones e implicarse en su resolución. El presente artículo tiene como objetivo sensibilizar a estos profesionales con el triple objetivo de justificar su papel en el abordaje del problema, vencer algunas de las mencionadas dificultades e informar sobre el procedimiento de notificación en la Comunidad Autónoma de La Rioja.ABSTRACT: Currently one of the issues most frequently discussed in the professional field of child protection is the need to establish working systems that enable coordination between the different resources and institutions and between different disciplines who work around the family and children. The education system is an essential part of system resources that work with victims of child abuse. But there are many difficulties and reluctance that present the education professionals (teachers, professors, staff) to detect these situations and get involved in their resolution. This article aims to raise awareness among professionals with the triple objective of justifying its role in addressing the problem, to overcome some of the above difficulties and report on the notification procedure in the Comunidad Autónoma de La Rioja.PALABRAS CLAVE: Maltrato infantil, detección, notificación, servicios educativos.
