Reviews

"Mitchell and Anglin have assembled an outstanding reference work on IPV. The structure and organization of the book work to make it a practical reference, with an easy-to-use interface that allows clinicians, researchers, and policy makers to engulf it fully or select portions at a time. The content has also been chosen with care and is representative of a broad illustration of current knowledge of IPV from many different academic, professional, and social perspectives. The international scope, economic and policy applications, the focus on prevention, and the clinical issues raised, as well as the inclusion of problem and controversial areas, all help make Intimate Partner Violence stand out from others in the field....All in all, this is an excellent book, a major compilation and unique in its approach. It is highly recommended for anyone seeking to further the complex phenomena of intimate partner violence."--PsycCRITIQUES
