Children and Interparental Violence

"Children and Interparental Violence focuses on children's exposure to violence between their caretakers and the subsequent effects on child development.".

"This new text, rich with impeccable research, current theories, and treatment strategies, pays specific and unique attention to the families' ethnic backgrounds, parents' sexual orientation, and forensic and legal issues. Prevention and intervention models, techniques, and programs are discussed, as well as research evaluating their usefulness.

Keeping in mind the goal of integrating practice and policy with current violence and developmental research and theory, numerous case examples take the reader from the lab and classroom into the session room and courtroom."--BOOK JACKET.
