This book is a gem.,
By
This review is from: Battered Women and Their Families: Intervention Strategies and Treatment Programs (Springer Series on Family Violence) (Hardcover)
The second edition of Battered Women and Their Families is the only book of its kind. Each chapter in this collection is as compelling and well documented as the next.This volume is highly informative, especially regarding crisis intervention protocols. It should be on the shelf of every hospital and treatment center. Writers go into theoretical depth in arguing for an interdisciplinary approach to address client needs,for example, battered women with substance abuse problems or children who have abused and abusive parents. Graduate students of social work and counseling will find much relevant and useful information here.

State of the art resource for helping professionals!,
This review is from: Battered Women and Their Families: Intervention Strategies and Treatment Programs (Springer Series on Family Violence) (Hardcover)
Battered Women and Their Families (2nd edition) is a book that every clinician should own. This book provides the expert in domestic violence, as well as social workers and other helping professionals working within a general private practice, a step by step treatment approach for victims of domestic violence. Background of the problem is discussed in section I detailing the scope of the problem, crisis intervention, and short-term treatment approaches. These first four chapters detail each step in the treatment process to assist clinicians to build treatment protocols: a first step in evaluating practice effectiveness.Sections II and III illustrate the problems and interventions of children and adolescents from violent homes and battered women respectively. Treatments and solutions are outlined on the micro-mezzo-and-macro levels of practice with these populations. Section IV covers special populations (the elderly, substance abuse, & lesbians), and section V deals with cross-cultural issues, policies, and practices with battered women. Each of the chapters takes great care to cover current trends and treatment practices providing a magnificent state of the art resource for social workers and other helping professionals. This is the most practical book I have read on family violence intervention.

An excellent book for students and professionals!,
By
This review is from: Battered Women and Their Families: Intervention Strategies and Treatment Programs, Third Edition (Springer Series on Family Violence) (Hardcover)
This is an excellent book for all professionals in the area of helping victims of domestic violence. The book is also educational for students studying areas such as Victimology and Domestic Violence. The author does an excellent job providing detailed instructions on implementation and information on the prevalence of domestic violence. The book serves not only as an informative guide for educating people on the reality of domestic violence but also serves as a tool in helping survivors of intimate partner abuse. One of the greatest things about this book is that it's extremely easy to read and the interventions models are easy to understand and follow. I highly recommend this book for a professionals and students!
