Kathleen Malley-Morrison
"Each chapter contains qualitative data with "voices" - personal
definitions and examples of family violence and abuse."
—Adolescence"Malley-Morrison has edited one of the most
comprehensive international writings on this subject that this
reviewer has ever read....This book is a 'must read' for any
professional seeking to understand current family violence issues
from an international perspective. Essential."
—CHOICE"Each chapter contains qualitative data with 'voices' -
personal definitions and examples of family violence and
abuse."
—Family Therapy"...this book masterfully recentralizes the role of
culture in understanding, treating, and preventing family
violence....The result of an ambitious project, the book highlights
constructions of family violence in 24 countries, spanning seven
regions of the world. This text offers the first comprehensive
international overview of family violence and it serves as an
important tool for developing interventions and research
efforts."
—Psychology of Women Quarterly"This book is an excellent desk
reference for those who do research and want more information about
the macro- or microsystems in various countries. It is invaluable
for those who design interventions to prevent and protect abuse
victims. It is an important source of information for practitioners
treating women and children who have emigrated from these countries
to the United States and Western Europe. Most of all, it gives us
hope that perhaps in the next generations, we really will be able
to live as a global and nonviolent family."
