El libro Multitrauma y maltrato infantil tiene muchas fortalezas. Además del rigor científico y académico con el que está escrito, el autor expone su experiencia y apuesta clínica con una problemática que aborda a diario conjuntamente con otras disciplinas y sectores como el de la protección infantil.

Epistemologies of the South outlines a new kind of bottom-up cosmopolitanism, in which conviviality, solidarity and life triumph against the logic of market-ridden greed and individualism.
