Psychological Maltreatment and the Schools: Problems of Law and Professional Responsiblilty.

Melton, Gary B.; Corson, Janet

School Psychology Review, v16 n2 p188-94 1987

States have a legal duty to prevent intrusions upon privacy that may damage self-esteem. School psychologists have to prevent such intrusions. (JAZ)
