Domestic violence against women is a problem that cries out for
informed discussion and effective treatments. "Intervening With
Assaulted Women" is a definitive response to those cries.
The authors of each of the chapters included in this collection
were selected for their ability to address a different issue
related to the abuse of women. As a result, a wide range of
concerns are confronted and discussed in this book, among them, the
socio-political underpinnings of violence against women, the early
childhood learning of assaultive men, and the traumatic impact of
abuse on women and children.
As for possible treatments, a current and uniquely comprehensive
range of responses is described and evaluated, making this an
excellent text for both front-line and classroom settings.
Recognizing child maltreatment as a complex phenomenon requiring
multifaceted responses, this volume provides a current and
comprehensive assessment of the problem, and argues for an expanded
conception of helping on the part of those who work with maltreated
children, their families, and their communities. Contributions

of practice, and empirical knowledge regarding the problem,
intervention, and outcomes. Presenting and up-to- date and
encompassing view of how to combat child abuse and neglect, this
book discusses the concerns of service providers as well as
academics. All the prevalent ways of responding to child
maltreatment are addressed, and each is discussed in terms of
theory, implementation and evidence for its effectiveness. For use

To date, little has been published about the place of spirituality
in working with survivors of intimate partner violence. Overcoming
Conflicting Loyalties examines the intersection of faith and
culture in the lives of religious and ethno-cultural women in the
context of the work of FaithLink, a unique community initiative
that encourages religious leaders and secular service providers to
work together. The authors present the benefits of such cooperation
by reporting the findings of three qualitative research studies.
Individuals in secular and sacral services who work with victims of
domestic violence, as well as academics in the fields of social
work, psychology, and religious studies, will benefit from the
insights, depth of experience, and range of voices represented in
this valuable book. Irene Sevcik, Michael Rothery, Nancy
Nason-Clark, and The Very Rev. Robert Pynn have brought their
professional expertise and experiences to benefit FaithLink at
different times and in different capacities. All of the authors
live in Calgary except Nason-Clark, who lives in Fredericton.
