Preventing Family Violence by Kevin Browne

Preventing Family Violence by Kevin Browne

Turn to any newspaper and you can guarantee that there will be articles on many varied forms of abuse. Recent cases of child, elder and spouse abuse have all featured prominently in the media, and we have been made increasingly aware of the pressure that social workers are under when dealing with troubled families. This volume integrates our knowledge on the various forms of family violence to enhance an understanding of the cause of aggression in the family. It also makes clear the social and behavioural characteristics of families that are predisposed to violence from one generation to the next. The authors emphasize that effective prevention of aggression in the family involves early intervention to break the vicious cycle of violence once it has been identified. The book goes further than updating our present understanding of child abuse and other forms of family violence. It presents a practical framework for dealing with coercive family systems as a whole and practical approaches to breaking the cycle of family violence which involves all forms of abuse.
