Family Violence,v.1

What factors contribute to family violence and how can they be identified early so that future violence can be prevented? Addressing these and related issues, the papers in this volume are a testimony to the rapid expansion of research, theory and practice in the family violence field. Leading researchers and clinicians explore the roots of family violence, including both physical and sexual abuse, and examine assessment, treatment and prevention. Topics addressed include: whether children or the elderly are at greater risk; and the role of substance abuse in family violence.Adams, Gerald R. is the author of 'Family Violence,v.1' with ISBN 9780803952461 and ISBN 0803952465.
