Invisible Shrapnel: The Legacy of Emotional Abuse provides an overview of the types of emotional abuse children and youth may encounter, anecdotes that illustrate impacts on the functioning of young people exposed to such abuse, potential developmental disturbances, and strategies adults can use to mediate the effects of abuse. One does not need to be a therapist to take corrective action. The research on resilience makes it clear that teachers, coaches, neighbors, extended family members, and others in a young person's environment can positively impact the youth's trajectory. This book offers a wealth of information on the topic of emotional abuse along with a clear message to all who care about the health of our young people that who the adult chooses to be matters.

Offering effective methods for teaching appropriate behavior to students who are defiant and disruptive, this book includes real-life teaching anecdotes, research-based strategies, and a unique parent supplement.
