This practical text offers professional guidance on stopping
domestic violence in couples and families and promoting healing and
safety in its aftermath. Rich in theoretical diversity (attachment,
trauma, feminist, narrative) and inclusive of family structures and
forms of violence, the coverage takes an approach to understanding
both complex circumstances and intervening with families. The tasks
of healing, from reestablishing trust to fostering positive coping,
are clearly linked to effects of abuse such as unresolved loss,
blunted trauma responses, poor emotion regulation, and damaged
relational esteem. And because sustained safety is crucial to
well-being, the authors extend their concepts of safety to include
professionals' own experience, security, and self-care. Among the
topics covered: * Living with violence in the family: retrospective
recall of women's childhood experiences. * How to help stop the
violence: using a safety methodology across the life span. *
Helping couples separate safely: working towards safe separations.
* Healing and repair in relationships: working therapeutically with
couples. * Working systemically with parents, children, and adult
survivors when the abuse stops. * Supervision and consultation with
practitioners who intervene with families and trauma. Intervening
After Violence: Therapy for Couples and Families is an essential
resource for social workers and mental health professionals engaged
in clinical practice seeking strategies for working therapeutically
and systematically with couples and families coping with physical
and emotional violence.
