Violence in Gay and Lesbian Domestic Partnerships provides a
comprehensive analysis of same-sex domestic violence, addressing
the major theoretical and treatment issues for both its victims and
perpetrators. Its contents raise awareness among social service
providers, of the problem of same-sex domestic violence and
emphasize the need for special services for both victims and
perpetrators. The publication of Violence in Gay and Lesbian
Domestic Partnerships signifies the growing official recognition of
domestic violence within lesbian and gay relationships as a social
problem worthy of serious attention and intervention.Editors
Renzetti and Miley begin by providing readers with an overview of
the problem of same-sex domestic violence and the responses of the
domestic violence movement and other social service providers.
Chapters then move to discussions of the current scarcity of
services available to lesbian and gay victims and perpetrators of
domestic violence and then evaluate specific treatment modalities
for these client groups. Significantly, the special needs of
lesbians and gays of color and those with HIV/AIDS are discussed.

concern about domestic violence in general. As a compilation of the

disciplinary and occupational boundaries and promotes a dialogue

counselors, practitioners and clinicians will find it especially
useful, given that it addresses the effectiveness of particular
treatment modalities for lesbian and gay victims and perpetrators.
