Intimate Partner Violence: A Resource for Professionals Working with Children and Families is in press and will be available in February! Written by 28 contributors from many different professional backgrounds within the child protection spectrum,
Intimate Partner Violence is an accessible and highly informative book. Here is some more information on it from our website (http://www.gwmedical.com):
"Intimate Partner Violence is a resource for a wide range of professionals who work with children and families, from specialists working in social services, counseling, education, and child advocacy to experts in the fields of medicine, law enforcement, and mental health. Contents include contemporary concepts and research on the prevalence, nature, causes, and impact of IPV—a pervasive problem in our society that affects adults and children and crosses all socioeconomic, racial, and ethnic boundaries. Intimate Partner Violence addresses not only the initial impact on the victims, but also the consequences IPV has in later life and in subsequent generations as learned behaviors lead to a cycle of family violence. The intent of Intimate Partner Violence is not to offer a comprehensive clinical and forensic reference text meant exclusively for medical and technical professionals, but rather to provide a thorough overview to assist managers, supervisors, directors, and other front-line professionals who have the responsibility of setting and implementing policies in making informed and effective decisions."intimate partner violence,
