How Intimate Partner Violence Affects Children: Developmental Research, Case Studies, and Evidence-Based Intervention

Researchers have estimated that 15 million American children are exposed to intimate partner violence (IPV) each year, with 7 million exposed to severe violence in their homes.

Using a developmental framework, this book presents research on how exposure to IPV affects children and how clinicians can treat these children. It combines outcome research, evidence-based interventions, and case study material for four different age groups: prenatal to infancy, toddler to early childhood, school-age children, and adolescents.
