Summary

Moving beyond current intervention theories and practices, this new innovative reference offers practitioners and scholars alternative views in responding to the ever growing problem of domestic violence in our communities. Through new research and data, the editors and authors of this critical handbook, present and support treatment options that encompass a wide range of gender dynamics, including violence perpetrated by heterosexual females or between same sex partners. Though controversial in scope, the gender-inclusive approach to assessment and intervention provides a significant departure from traditional paradigms of domestic violence, but a much needed awareness to help effectively prevent violence in our communities today and for future generations to come.
