Beskrivning

Domestic violence affects all areas of social work. This book shows how social workers can intervene in everyday practice with victims, their families and perpetrators of domestic abuse. It provides students with knowledge of theory, research and policy to put directly in practice across a variety of legal and service-user contexts.

Topics covered include:

Child protection
Interprofessional collaboration
The policy and legal context
Working with women
Working with men

Each chapter begins with a case study and concludes with reflective questions to highlight practice dilemmas and challenge students to reflect critically. Further reading from a rich range of sources guides readers to expand their knowledge.

This book will be valuable reading for students studying domestic violence, child protection, and family social work, as well as practitioners of Social Work.
