Assessing Woman Battering challenges traditional mental health
approaches to domestic violence and offers alternative strategies
and procedures to improve the response to battered women. The book
is a guide to the conceptual and practical issues associated with
identifying and assessing battered women in mental health services.
Edward W. Gondolf draws from research on mental health assessment
and his own surveys of battered womenAEs services to illustrate
these issues. The expertise of battered women advocates is used to
develop answers to critical assessment issues. Beyond a how-to
book, Assessing Woman Battering discusses the issues underlying the
identification and assessment of battered women and assists
clinicians in providing an appropriate and safe response for them.
It presents ways to build collaboration that improves assessment
and referrals, and establishes a supportive environment that
enhances disclosure of woman battering, identifying potential
strengths and further safety rather than increasing risks.
Concluding chapters consider issues involved in assessing women of
different racial backgrounds and men who battered their female
partners. This timely and well-written book is directed to mental
health practitioners and domestic violence workers as well as
academics, researchers, and students in the helping professions.
Academics, researchers, mental health practitioners, domestic
violence workers, and professionals in violence against women,
interpersonal violence, social work, clinical/counseling
psychology, sociology, gender studies, family studies, public
health, criminology, and nursing will find this book useful.
