“I highly recommend this to students and practitioners interested in not only having finger tip information about this important topic—but also having ‘hands-on’ data which can inform and direct their practice with the numerous marginalized and vulnerable victims of IPV in Canada.”
--From the Foreword by Michael J. Holosko, Pauline M. Berger Professor of Family and Child Welfare, University of Georgia
