A feminist psychological perspective on the treatment of battered women partners is taken by this volume, which offers a challenge to traditional family therapy intervention in family violence. Experts on legal, ethical and practical issues propose alternatives to the family systems approach and address key areas such as: the psychological state of women who remain in violent relationships, current laws governing family violence, training therapists to recognize family violence, multiethnic perspectives on the problem, and the impact of abusive parental relationships on children. Specific guidelines for individual work with victims are also presented.
