This would be a great resource to use not only in a course on violence or child welfare, but in an introductory social work course to show students one place where a social worker could intervent. It could be used to generate good class discussion on pricniples such as the cycle of violence and the story would provide class members with concrete behaviors, names etc. to use in discussion to make it more real.

We wrote this book wanting it to be used primarily as a teaching tool for students who are beginning to learn about family violence and practitioners who are specializing in this area. The key concepts, interventions, and strategies featured in the book are based on over 15 years of social work clinical practice and 12 years of university teaching in the area of family violence.We also hoped that clinicians would use this book as a resource for service users who are experiencing family violence.
