Domestic violence is a major public health concern, affecting
millions worldwide. It is underreported, often devastating and
sometimes ends in murder. In Toxic Couples: The Psychology of
Domestic Violence, Anna Motz integrates psychological and
criminological data with clinical illustrations and discussion of
current high-profile cases. She examines the complex manifestations
and multiple causes of intimate partner violence. Motz disentangles
the roles played by those involved and examines the addictive
nature of these damaging partnerships. The book describes various
forms of abuse, including physical, sexual and emotional, and
analyses how intimate partner violence can escalate to murder. She
explores important factors including: the role of addiction;
homelessness and vulnerability; the intergenerational transmission
of abuse; sadomasochistic relationships; honour-based violence. The
book emphasizes the significance of female- as well as
male-perpetrated violence and outlines the powerful impact on the
children of abusive parents, extending the clinical awareness of
professionals working with those affected. Toxic Couples: The
Psychology of Domestic Violence is ideal for clinicians working
with the victims and perpetrators of intimate partner violence, for
students of psychology, gender studies and social care courses and
for anyone interested in the psychological forces behind violence
in relationships. ]
