Participants rated and ranked the importance of 35 child risk/well-being factors used in recent child separation dispositions. Results indicated that boundary setting with a perpetrator of abuse and parental motivation played a significant role in decision-making. These preliminary findings suggest the need to prioritize services aimed at the promotion of the non-maltreating parent’s limit setting with the perpetrator of abuse, as well as caretaker motivation/cooperation. Keywords: maltreatment; family risk factors; caseworker perceptions.} url={http://www.francoangeli.it/Riviste/Scheda_rivista.aspx?idArticolo=34846}, author={Virginia DeRoma and Maria Lynn Kessler and Ryan McDaniel and Cesar Soto} pages={9-23}, language={IT}}
