Summary:

"Intimate Partner Violence: Clinical Interventions with Women, Men, and their Children brings into focus an ecological and clinical frame for addressing the resulting psychological effects of intimate partner violence (IPV). Aymer presents a perspective that is often omitted from social work textbooks which are geared to generalist practice, tending to expose students to macro-systemic ideas (including criminal justice policies and procedures) relative to IPV. However, this book expands clinical social work pedagogy by reinforcing the need for students to go beyond macro issues in order to deliver competent clinically-based interventions that help women, children, and men work through the consequential effects of partner violence. Designed for graduate social work students, it expands the discourse- arguing that IPV is a complex psycho-social-political-relational problem that must be understood from a multi-theoretical perspective. Through case studies, theory, research, and the author's clinical practice wisdom, this text will: increase understanding of how to work clinically with women affected by IPV, increase knowledge of how to work with abusive men, heighten knowledge of how IPV affects children and adolescents, expand knowledge of social cultural notions, and explore men's role in terms of advocating against gender-based violence"-- [Provided by publisher]
