Description: 


Family aggression - whether in form of physical violence or verbal 
abuse - has touched most of us in our lifetime. Most of us have 
witnessed it, experienced it, or used it at one point or another. In 
order for us to eliminate aggressive and abusive behaviors from 
relationships, we must be willing to confront our own experiences with 
these behaviors.

Family Violence in the United States: Defining, Understanding, and 
Combating Abuse examines all types of family aggression. The book is 
designed to provoke readers into questioning assumptions, evaluating 
information, formulating hypotheses, and designing solutions to 
problems of family violence in the United States. Using an ecological 
framework, authors Denise A. Hines and Kathleen Malley-Morrison 
provide a thought-provoking and informative discussion not only of the 
most well-recognized forms of maltreatment in families, but also of 
less understood and more controversial issues such as husband abuse, 
parent abuse, and gay/lesbian abuse. 

Key Features

relationships - topics scarcely covered in other texts 

Discusses "hidden forms" of family violence including wife rape, 
sibling abuse, parent abuse, and abuse of people with disabilities 

Uses real case studies to illustrate the concepts discussed and to 
provoke readers to think critically about issues in family violence 

Provides thought-provoking questions throughout the text to prompt 
readers to evaluate their own and others’ notions of abuse and 
maltreatment 

Incorporates "Special Issues" sections to highlight new, and sometimes 
controversial, aspects of family violence 

Includes summary sections at the end of each chapter to serve as a 
useful study aid for students 

Concludes with a discussion of how we, as a society, are currently 
responding to the problem of family violence in the United States

the United States is suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate 
courses on family violence in the fields of Family Studies, Sociology, 
Social Work, Women’s Studies, Criminal Justice, Psychology,
