Brainstorming: A Comprehensive Theory of Family Violence

by Jane Gilgun

in this conference paper that I wrote in 1998r, I share many ideas about a book I'd like to write on family violence. Some of the ideas are probably pretty good, others only half-baked, and some not connected to anything else yet. Some of these ideas are destined to be discarded. I've developed ideas for this book during 14 years of life history research I've done on persons who have committed various forms of family violence and other persons who have risks for family violence but who are not known to have acted out these risks. I asked participants in this brainstorming session at the Pre-Conference Workshop on Theory Development and Research Methodology to help me to think about a book I would like to write on family violence.
