Gender-Inclusive Treatment of Intimate Partner Abuse: Evidence-Based Approaches, 2nd Edition

.\nThis groundbreaking book on the gender-inclusive treatment of intimate partner abuse has been fully updated to reflect new and refined evidence-based approaches that have evolved since the first edition was published nearly ten years ago. It describes new treatment protocols that are strongly supported by current research that enables mental health practitioners to engage in a more nuanced-and gender inclusive conceptualization and treatment of intimate partner abuse in its many permutations.\nThe book eschews the field's previous reliance on traditional domestic violence and treatment protocols to offer new paradigms that reflect the trend toward a more balanced, evidence-based and less heteronormative conceptualization of partner abuse. It presents the latest findings from the third installment of the Partner Abuse State of Knowledge Project. Included are new examples of evidence-based programs currently in existence and those that are in formative stages, fully updated exercises and handouts, new risk assessment instruments, and new definitions of evidence-based treatment. Of special note are several new appendices that include updated assessment forms, a victim safety plan, client workbook guidelines and exercises, resources and programs for court-ordered clients, and exercises for high conflict family violence parent groups. In addition, a new assessment protocol will be available as a free download.\nNew to the Second Edition:\nIncludes the latest findings from the Partner Abuse State of Knowledge Project\nPresents most current literature on risk assessment instruments\nProvides new definitions of evidence-based treatment regarding degree of rigor along with outcome data and newest relevant studies\nDiscusses promising new group programs\nIncludes a new assessment tool available as free download\nDescribes several new, evidence-based gender-inclusive approaches\nOffers comprehensive appendices that reflect recent advances including newassessment forms, a victim safety plan, client workbook guidelines and exercises, resources and programs for court-ordered clients, and exercises for high conflict family violence parent groups\nGender-Inclusive Treatment of Intimate Partner Abuse: Evidence-Based Approaches 2nd Edition is written by John Hamel, LCSW and published by Springer Publishing Company.
