Includes assessment checklists, a violence knowledge self-quiz, and numerous other resources of great value to practitioners.
Reviews "Domestic violence is at epidemic levels in our society, afflicting between 4 and 8 million couples per year.

It is a highly readable volume which brings together the most up-to-date research and clinical expertise on the assessment and treatment of domestic violence. Highly recommended for professionals and students alike!" -Ronald F.
