Vincent J. Fontana M.D.1 and Esther Robison M.A.1

1 New York Foundling Hospital Center for Parent and Child Development, New York, New York

A multidisciplinary team of professionals and paraprofessionals provides an innovative therapeutic approach for the treatment of child abuse and neglect among a deprived and disadvantaged population of abusing mothers. The therapeutic approach stresses residential care for mother and child, behavior modification through corrective child care experiences, personality modifications through individual and group therapy, and environmental and social changes through staff assistance and education.
