This textbook aims to equip social workers and human services practitioners with the knowledge and skills to work effectively with both the victims and perpetrators of domestic violence. Whilst acknowledging the occurrence of domestic violence in all contexts, this book places its primary focus on women and women with accompanying children and the helping system that has developed to assist this vulnerable client group. Written to address the needs of the social work and human services student learner, the book covers a range of domestic violence issues that will prepare the student for practice.
