In "Domestic Violence: Intersectionality and Culturally
Competent Practice," experts working with twelve unique groups of
domestic abuse survivors provide the latest research on their
populations and use a case study approach to demonstrate culturally
sensitive intervention strategies. Chapters focus on African
Americans, Native Americans, Latinas, Asian and Pacific Island
communities, persons with disabilities, immigrants and refugees,
women in later life, LGBT survivors, and military families. They
address domestic violence in rural environments and among teens, as
well as the role of religion in shaping attitudes and behavior.
Lettie L. Lockhart and Fran S. Danis are editors of the Council
of Social Work Education's popular teaching modules on domestic
violence and founding co-chairs of the CSWE symposium on violence
against women and children. In their introduction, they provide a
thorough overview of intersectionality, culturally competent
practice, and domestic violence and basic practice strategies, such
as universal screening, risk assessment, and safety planning. They
follow with collaborative chapters on specific populations
demonstrating the value of generalist social work practice,
including developing respectful relationships that define issues
from the survivor's perspective; collecting and assessing data;
setting goals and contracting; identifying culturally specific
interventions; implementing culturally appropriate courses of
action; participating in community-level strategies; and advocating
for improved policies and funding at local, state, and federal
levels. Featuring resources applicable to both practitioners and
clients, Domestic Violence forms an effective tool for analysis and
action.
