Intimate Partner Violence:: Societal, Medical, Legal and Individual Responses (Little Book about Women's Health Issues)

by Sana Loue

Intimate Partner Violence:: Societal, Medical, Legal and Individual Responses (Little Book about Women's Health Issues) Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

It is clear that physical abuse is an integral component of some intimate relationships. This book addresses not the violence but our responses or lack of responses to that violation of personal integrity and the accompanying trauma. How partner violence is responded to, individually and collectively, may well determine whether the violence can be prevented or will cease once begun. This text is intended to serve as a basic resource for the student, clinician and researcher. It provides a summary of how we have responded to such violence in the past and presents potential future directions for research and prevention efforts.

Book News Annotation:

Providing a base resource for students, clinicians, and researchers concerned about violence between intimate partners, Loue (Case Western Reserve U.) diverges from most such studies by focusing not on the violence itself but on the varied responses to it, and how responses at one level influence those at others. She is convinced that diminishing such violence requires addressing it as both an individual and a community issue.
