Summary: The very definition of comprehensive!
Comment: I own the 1993 version of this text and can honestly say that it is the most comprehensive single writing on child abuse that I have encountered.

Chapters of the 1993 printing include:

The Family: Roles, Responsibilities, and Rights
Maltreatment and the Developing Child
The Physical Abuse of Children
the Neglect of Children
the Emotional Maltreatment of Children
the Sexual Abuse of Children
Incest: Familial Abuse

Extrafamilial Sexual Abuse, Misuse, and Exploitation
Intervention: Reporting and Investigation
Intervention: Case Management and Roles of Other Professionals
The Legal Response to Child Abuse and Neglect
Treatment: Physical Abuse and Neglect
Treatment: Sexual Abuse
Foster Care as a Theapeutic Tool
The Social Worker and the System
Adults Abused as Children
Prevention
Toward a Better Tomorrow

The author puts forth much valuable information which is clearly well researched. It is also written in a common-sense format. If you are looking for one book on everything child abuse, this should be it.
