Drawing on the experiences of practitioners from a range of backgrounds, this work is a comprehensive study of real or threatened physical violence and its consequences. Personal accounts of children and adults who have been subjected to such violence are discussed, with a view to understanding the emotional and psychological effects of their experiences. The book covers a broad spectrum of pertinent issues, including: working with children who have been subjected to violence; workplace bullying; victims and mediation; lesbian and gay experiences of crime and violence; confusing violence - misunderstanding people with dementia; war trauma and the aftermath of violent political division; a police perspective on domestic violence. The contributors analyze the effective delivery of support, assistance and therapy to victims, focusing, on practical methods, techniques and skills. The personal accounts also provide a unique perspective. This book should be of interest for all professionals working with victims of violence.
