Product Description
Family Violence in the United States: Defining, Understanding, and Combating Abuse examines all types of family aggression. The book is designed to provoke readers into questioning assumptions, evaluating information, formulating hypotheses, and designing solutions to problems of family violence in the United States. Using an ecological framework, authors Denise A. Hines and Kathleen Malley-Morrison provide a thought-provoking and informative discussion not only of the most well-recognized forms of maltreatment in families, but also of less understood and more controversial issues such as husband abuse, parent abuse, and gay/lesbian abuse. |

a necessity by me 5 Stars
December 30, 2008
There are many textbooks that students sell back at the end of the quarter, but for me and many of my classmates this was not one of them. This book provided me with a much deeper understanding of domestic violence and helped me form a better understaning of how to deal with the issue professionally. This book is extremely informative and is a must-read for anyone in the mental health field.
