The concept of domestic violence refers to acts of violence and
abuse of one family member over another. Family violence is an
issue of major concern for psychologists and families, community
and social decision-makers. It is a dramatic phenomenon, which

perspectives of domestic violence. Chapter One is about attachment
as a vulnerability factor of victimisation in the context of
intimate partner violence. Chapter Two analyzes animal cruelty and
intimate partner violence. Chapter Three focuses on violence
against women and child maltreatment. Chapter Four emphasizes the
victimization experience (direct and indirect) of children in the

Chapter Six discusses the phenomenon of domestic violence between

arising from a concept of honor and referred to as honor based
violence. Chapter Eight presents current literature on the
effectiveness of domestic violence interventions targeting adult
perpetrators and adult and child victims. Chapter Nine provides the
latest results of the research on facilitating successful treatment
processes in perpetrator programs. Chapter Ten examines the

show that gender based violence is no longer restricted to women by
men."
