Adolescent-to-Parent Abuse by Amanda Holt
This is the first academic book to focus on adolescent-to-parent abuse and brings together international research and practice literature and combines it with original research to identify and critique current understandings in research, policy and practice.
"Holt has delivered a thought-provoking and well-structured summary of the largely uncharted territory of adolescent-to-parent abuse" British Journal of Social Work
"hugely informative and balanced text...offers educators a range of options for integrating the topic" Sarah Galvani Tilda Goldberg Centre for Social Work and Social Care, University of Bedfordshire
"The abuse of parents by young people has until recently been a hidden topic. This book breaks new ground by describing the extent of the problem, and by providing a thoughtful review of the research, policy and practice in this area. The book includes resources for professionals as well as for parents themselves. I recommend this book as an outstanding text for all interested in families and in family dysfunction.". Dr John Coleman, Department of Education, University of Oxford
“Amanda Holt has produced a compelling and pioneering study of an issue that is often overlooked. She shows how parent abuse can be better understood and, by situating its dynamic of intimate violence within a wider social and cultural context, she shows why it must be addressed more effectively.” Professor Peter Squires, University of Brighton
