A Neuroscientific Approach to Family Violence helps students,
practitioners, and helping professionals understand the
contributions of genetics to the behaviors of maltreated and
maltreating persons. The book highlights new research findings
about family violence across the lifespan accompanied by simplified
information about their genetic foundations. The unobtrusive method
of referencing the research enhances the accessibility of the
content while maintaining customary attributions. This unique
presentation provides readers with a biosocial model for better
understanding family violence and its implications. Readers learn
how tests of boys aged two to five can predict with 80% accuracy
whether the boy will be convicted of a crime by age eighteen.
Readers discover how trauma experiences from assaults can change
the structure and functioning of the brain. Dedicated chapters
reveal that certain trauma-focused treatments are measurable within
the brain, maltreatment of children is the greatest preventable
factor for adult mental illness, and dating violence, bullying,
sexual assault, and adult intimate partner violence all have
genetic bases. Throughout, prevention and treatment strategies are
provided that correspond with different stages of the lifespan.
Illuminating case histories stimulate critical thinking and connect
research and theory with real-life examples. A Neuroscientific
Approach to Family Violence provides readers with a wealth of
information about the relationship between family violence and
neurobiology. The content prepares students for effective practice
and also provides experts in the field with fresh research in the
discipline.
