Abstract
Available empirical evidence shows that rehabilitation programmes for
families at risk for child abuse do not prevent further abuse in the
majority of cases. In this paper five problems that may account for this
are discussed. These are the problems of denial, co-operation,
conformity, role confusion and countertransference. It is argued that this
quintet of problems is partially rooted in the way in which risk and
rehabilitation have been socially constructed within the dominant
discourse concerning child protection. Finally, the way in which
poverty potentiates the impact of these problems is explored.
