Violence In The Family: Social Work Readings And Research From Northern And Rural Canada

by Keith Brownlee (Editor)

This book is a collection of original articles by practitioners and academics that complements other literature on family violence in rural and northern areas. Geography and attitudes figure centrally in many of these discussions, but more specific problem areas, including types of violence and intervention possibilities, are also discussed in practical and treatment-focused terms. The focus on family violence in rural and northern areas is unique and Social Work instructors will find this a valuable supplementary text in a wide variety of courses, such as child welfare, women's issues, direct practice, community work, and social policy.
