In this book, in which definitions and examples of abuse from men
and women from every continent and a very diverse set of
backgrounds are considered. The volume provides information on the
extent to which family violence is a recognized problem in each
country, research findings available on different forms of family
violence, and information on governmental responses to family
violence. Finally, the value of an international human rights
approach to abuse and violence in families is considered. The book
presents an unparalleled international coverage, addressing all
forms of family violence in Australia and at least two countries
from every other continent. Each chapter begins by describing the
cultural context in which family violence and abuse take place.
These sections emphasize the role of women and children in the
country. Providing a multitude of voices, each chapter includes
fascinating and often dramatic definitions and examples of abuse
from ordinary citizens of the country. The concluding chapter
elaborates on the appropriateness of a human rights approach in
addressing family violence cross-nationally and cross-culturally;
and provides an excellent integration of much of the material from
the previous chapters. The book is intended for advanced
undergraduates and graduate students in psychology and sociology,
as well as pre-professionals and professionals in medicine, law,
and social services. It has strong relevance and value to
individuals training in counseling (counselor education) and
clinical psychology. Because of its readable style and extensive
use of quotations from citizens of the countries studied for the
book, it may also appeal to a much broader audience, including a
lay audience.
