With a foreword by Barbara W. White, PhD, University of Texas at Austin

The definitive work on battered women is now in a timely third edition.
Considered the complete, in-depth guide to effective interventions for this pervasive social disease, "Battered Women and Their Families" has been updated to include new case studies, cultural perspectives, and assessment protocols. In an area of counseling that cannot receive enough attention, Dr. Robert's work stands out as an essential treatment tool for all clinical social workers, nurses, physicians, and graduate students who work with battered women on a daily basis.

New chapters on same-sex violence, working with children in shelters, immigrant women affected by domestic violence, and elder mistreatment round out this unbiased, multicultural look at treatment programs for battered women. "
