Overview

Existing services for support to victims of domestic violence frequently have minimal impact on reducing either the frequency or severity of domestic violence. As a result, science-practitioners in this field have developed clinical research programmes to inform key practice issues and improve these services. This title describes developed intervention programmes which have been shown to be effective for reducing the incidence, severity or impact of domestic violecne in particular populations. The book also features assessment programmes that identify risk profiles.

Reviews

The editors deliver a greater appreciation of how research can inform and improve practice... and is necessary for constructing and testing conceptual frameworks that can help guide service delivery in this area. -- Rostrum This is, in sum, a volume that will be of use and relevance to those in marital/relationship and family therapy. The evidence base for the interventions is still limited, but the chapters show what progress has been made, and this alone is a significant contribution. In an area where, rightly, the focus is on making one's interventions as soundly evidence-based as possible, books such as this are a help to the busy practitioner. -- Sexual and Relationship Therapy
