Understanding Domestic Violence not only highlights and reexamines the different challenges that we continue to face in effectively addressing issues of domestic violence but provides innovated approaches to interventions that are more in keeping with the complex nature of domestic violence. This book provides a comprehensive and multifaceted examination of conditions and factors involved in domestic violence, including psychological, sociocultural, sociopolitical, and socioeconomic issues.

The authors look at domestic violence through the trauma lens and intersectionality to develop intervention strategies within that context. Statistics and clinical examples from the field highlight unique culturally-based issues related to domestic violence among Latino, African American, and Arab Muslim communities, issues with woman perpetrators, and violence in the LGBTQ community, to name a few. In the end, Understanding Domestic Violence offers opportunities for the reader to engage in further discussion of the poignant issues discussed in the book, with the invitation to become part of the solution.

For professionals who deal with domestic violence (DV), this volume is an ideal new tool. Its chapters describe evidence-based resources to understand, prevent, and reduce DV while also offering unusual features not found in other volumes, in a carefully crafted volume that is the state of the art in coping with DV.

This edited book takes a unique perspective by dealing with topics that we do not usually see in the domestic violence field. Including disabilities, the intersection of ethnic and cultural factors, and treatment approaches from a trauma informed lens is an excellent combination to focus on that helps move the field forward.
