The most comprehensive research-based text on family violence – now more accessible and visually inviting than ever before
Streamlined and updated throughout with state-of-the-art information, this Third Edition of the authors' bestselling book gives readers an accessible introduction to the methodology, etiology, prevalence, treatment, and prevention of family violence. Research from experts in the fields of psychology, sociology, criminology, and social welfare informs the book's broad coverage of current viewpoints and debates within the field. Organized chronologically, chapters cover child physical, sexual, and emotional abuse; abused and abusive adolescents; courtship violence and date rape; spouse abuse, battered women, and batterers; and elder abuse.
This textbook is very thorough and easy to read. Discussion questions at the end of each chapter are also excellent.
Excellent content. Very thorough and offers multiple levels of information.
The textbook provides expansive content, that speaks to the violence experienced by families. It covers a broad scope that is valuable to understanding Family Violence.

This extensively covers the history and current issues of domestic violence.
This text met my needs for a good, theory driven text on family violence for Graduate Psychology Summer 2014 course at California Lutheran University. Instructor supports and ancillary materials were also appreciated.
Thanks. Dr. Judith Balcerzak
