Treatment of Family Violence: A Sourcebook

This guide presents the current status of treatment approaches for families affected by physical or psychological abuse or by neglect. Each chapter, written by a specialist on the topic, critically examines the features of a particular type of family violence, the interventions developed to remedy or prevent maltreatment, and possible future directions of research. Chapters fall into five sections, covering commonly encountered clinical issues, treatment of individual victims, treatment programs for perpetrators, preventative programs addressing family violence, and recommendations for future research priorities.
