Abstract
Forty-nine volunteers (29 therapists and 20 child protection workers) were interviewed regarding their experiences with mandated reporting. The results indicated widespread disagreement between the groups about the nature of appropriate reports, the requirements of the law, and t he process designed to protect children and help families.
