Intimate Partner Violence “… state-of-the-art theoretical and empirical perspectives on intimate partner violence …” Knowledge in the field of intimate partner violence is increasing at a dramatic rate—creating tremendous opportunities for repairing lives and families damaged by abuse. This master reference synthesizes research on intimate partner violence and provides specific, evidence-supported ideas you can put into active practice protecting those at risk
“This resource meets the robust challenge our field now presents. It successfully synthesizes the breadth and complexity of research on intimate partner violence while allowing for disparate views and approaches, and it directs itself toward issues most pressing in today’s practice environment where advances discovered in research must be brought to life. Its comprehensive review also contributes by laying a sound empirical footing on which the future evolution of the study of intimate partner violence can take shape.” “Intimate Partner Violence is a comprehensive review of research and practice in the field of domestic violence. The editors did a great job bringing together a diverse group of national and international experts, including researchers, practitioners, academics, criminal justice workers, military personnel, public health and community advocates. The book includes practical and helpful recommendations on how to work with intimate partner violence (IPV) cases in the clinical, social and legal arenas, as well as culturally relevant observations that are specific to the work with underserved and underprivileged populations. “Most of the book chapters highlight the fact that IPV is a heterogeneous problem that involves multiple variables. It provides a much needed ecological approach to understand the multiple correlates underlying violence that are key to making accurate assessments, and providing helpful interventions to victims. The book also underscores the importance of reviewing and rewriting outdated information on domestic violence if we are to help the population affected by IPV.” “It is not in the least surprising that this volume emerged from papers presented at the International Family Violence Research Conference, the premiere meeting of researchers and thinkers in the field of intimate partner violence; this book lives up to the stellar reputation of the conference from which it evolved. Project editors Kathleen Kendall-Tackett and Sarah Giacomoni and the contributors to this compilation have succeeded admirably in accomplishing the extremely ambitious goal laid out by Kendall-Tackett in the preface: to ‘represent the state of the art in intimate partner violence research.’ The work is truly awe-inspiring for its size, scope, depth, organization, clarity and above all, quality.” Related Publications:
