This book examines the nature, prevention, and treatment of
violence within families. It reviews the definition of contemporary
families, emphasizing various structures, including nuclear
families, reconstituted families, gay and lesbian families, and
recent immigrant families. In addition, the volume describes the
nature of and risk factors for family violence from the
perspectives of both victims (e.g., infants, children, seniors) and
perpetrators (e.g., adolescent family members, women). It
identifies the implications and explores strategies for prevention,
treatment, and services. In addition, the volume directly addresses
practice and evidence-based interventions for individual
perpetrators, family interventions, interventions for victims and
systemwide interventions (e.g., those involving the courts, police,
and national policy). Chapters review the best available quality
evidence from randomized controlled trials, systematic reviews,
meta-analyses, research syntheses, and evidence-based
recommendations from expert panels and government agencies. Case
studies illustrate the application of evidence-based practice to
violence within the family to demonstrate the effectiveness of the
intervention. Topics featured in this book include:
Definition and conceptualization of family. Definition and
measurement of as well as risk factors for family violence. Family
violence in various traditional and nontraditional families.
Prevention strategies as well as Individual and family treatments
for perpetrators and victims of family violence. Social policy and
legal interventions for family violence. Violence in
