Domestic Violence in the Lives of Children The Future of Research, Intervention, and Social Policy

Clinicians know from experience that some children who have been exposed to domestic violence are often severely affected by the experience, whereas others appear relatively unscathed. Much less clear is what protects children in the latter group and how the larger community and social environment impedes or enhances adjustment in their families.This book is intentionally future oriented, charting new directions for productive research and integrating the separate areas of domestic violence and child maltreatment research. Cutting-edge methodology is emphasized, with contributors discussing important research constructs, the best available measures and methods of analyzing data, the effectiveness of interventions, and the implications for public policy. This book will be invaluable to researchers, policymakers, and those who care about improving our understanding of the effect of domestic violence on children.Graham-Bermann, Sandra A. is the author of 'Domestic Violence in the Lives of Children The Future of Research, Intervention, and Social Policy', published 2001 under ISBN 9781557987792 and ISBN 1557987793.
