title: [Domestic violence against children (First Part)].
abstract: The authors interviewed 76.2% of the pediatricians from the Pediatric Department-School of Medical Sciences-Campinas University-UNICAMP, to analyse the difficulties of this professional group in the evaluation of the domestic violence against children. From the group of professionals, 86.7% had already attended a situation involving child abuse; the therapeutic aspects were referred in 44.4% as most important, and in 46%, the difficulties in the diagnostic aspects were referred. They conclude that, despite the experiences with the theme, a lot more could be done and studied.
