This book, Family Violence: Prevalence, Risk Factors and Perspectives, uses a family-centered approach to explore the evidence regarding violence in the family because when there is any type of violence, be it child abuse, intimate partner violence, sibling abuse, child-on-parent abuse or elder abuse, everyone in the family is affected and all family members should be included in the intervention.
