Violence and Maltreatment in Intimate Relationships

Second Edition


August 2020 | 456 pages | SAGE Publications, Inc
Violence and Maltreatment in Intimate Relationships describes the magnitude, risk factors, and consequences of intimate violence. The text offers a multidisciplinary focus that examines traditional areas of interpersonal violence as well as forms of intimate abuse outside the family. Addressing intimate relationship violence across the developmental lifespan, the Second Edition offers a mix of historical and contemporary perspectives, as well as personal stories and high-profile cases to provide readers with ample opportunity for application of the explanations, research, and data. The authors discuss the professional and social response to violence and maltreatment in intimate relationships (VMIR) to further the understanding of how to treat victims and how to prevent future intimate violence.

This textbook takes an ecological view of family violence, and the cultural, structural, micro-level, and other macro-level phenomena related to intimate partner violence are discussed in depth. A real strength of this book is that it begins with history, moves into theory and research, and then discusses family violence developmentally. The last chapter focuses on summing up the content and looking ahead, which is perfect."

“I particularly find this book compelling because it deals with in-utero all the way through geriatric victims of IPV; it’s not simply domestic violence as our course title might imply. To the contrary, we have all too many incidents of intimate partner violence at all ages, especially increasingly against geriatrics in our culture. So I’ve been extremely pleased and able to generate extraordinary results in conversations, sharing and even requests for help from students whom I realize, as I stand before them, are often victims. So it’s a small text but it packs a big punch as a tool to use with my and the students’ life experiences…frankly, it’s one of my two favorite texts in our program.”
