Intimate Partner Violence: Clinical Interventions with Partners and Their Children - Paperback

by Samuel R. Aymer (Author)

This book brings into focus an ecological and clinical frame for addressing the psychological effects of intimate partner violence (IPV) and expands the discourse by arguing that IPV is a complex psycho-social-political-relational problem that must be understood from a multitheoretical and intersectional perspective.
